Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history, and deservedly so, so I am happy to see any of their films. Ollie and his wife (Kay Deslys) are cosy at home, and this comfort is interrupted when Stan comes over to invite Ollie to play golf. They stay in the house for a few minutes, only to have the blind taken down and the record player break, so Mrs. Hardy naturally tells him to go. When they get to the golf course, they are only letting in groups of four, so they join two girls to get in, only to try and refuse drinks (because they don't have enough money). So they go to play golf, and Stan being silly keeps having his hat, and then trousers falling down, and the man behind him follows having his wig fall off - second time Stan gave him a mound of dirt instead. The wig man manages to get his ball in the mud, flicking some on a woman, and then many others flick, throw and fall in the mud, ending with Ollie and Stan going in, pulling up the wig man with his ball. Filled with good slapstick and all classic comedy you want from a black and white film, it is an enjoyable silent film. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were number 7 on The Comedians' Comedian. Worth watching!
