"The Live Ghost" is one of those comedies in which they set up what's about to happen. In this case, Stan and Ollie are aboard a supposedly haunted ship, and a drunken sailor under their watch accidentally falls into a vat of whitewash, causing him to look like a ghost. Guess what happens thereafter! It just goes to show that sometimes humor can be simple and do wonders. Without a doubt Laurel and Hardy were the masters of this humor. As usual, Ollie suffers more due to Stan's idiocy and gullibility. Hard to believe that just ten years earlier Laurel and Hardy weren't a comedy team, but they took the world by storm once they joined up.
