"The Live Ghost" is a 20-minute black-and-white short film from over 80 years ago starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, the most famous comedy duo in film history. And in this movie from their days of sound film, they show us their talent. It is a bit spooky, certainly more of a supernatural/ghost impact than most of their other work, but somehow it is still a success. I am a bit critical with some of their other films and I would not call myself a huge fan, even if I like some of the stuff they have done. This is why I would call myself critical of their work. But I am okay with what they did here. Occasionally, it gets a bit too noisy and chaotic in their attempts to be funny and entertaining, but it's not the entire film, only a couple situations. That's why my final verdict is thumbs-up. Worth checking out, but maybe not the best way to start with the Laurel&Hardy films if you are new to the duo as it really is not a trademark film of theirs.
