Something fishy
11 September 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This is not a comment on this film's quality though. It's another decent Laurel and Hardy short film that runs for 20 minutes. In here the boys sell fish, but get the idea to catch it as well in order to save money. So what do you need? That's right: a boat. And if you imagine the chaos that may ensue if these two gentlemen try to build their own boat, you imagine exactly what is happening in this one here. The two protagonists are around the age of 40 and this was already made during the sound era. However, it is still in black-and-white as almost all films were over 80 years ago. The humor is nice and it seems Laurel suffers even more than he usually does in this one here. All in all, I would say that this is not among the duo's best and not among their worst either. A solid watch and George Marshall did a good job directing here given the fact that he has not really worked with the legendary Stan and Ollie a lot. Thumbs up for this one.
