Featured review
The Old Radio Antenna
As is usually the case, a series of unfortunate events lead to the near destruction of Oliver Hardy. Ollie would like the day off but his wife insists that he finally get on the roof and adjust the radio antenna. Of course, he will need someone to help and we know who that is. After destroying the chimney, there are continuous hilarious mishaps, including bricks falling on Ollie's head. It is classic to watch him sit there, thinking each brick is the last and the another falls. Oliver was the master of the despairing victim. Stanley means well but is a horror when it comes to fixing things. Eventually, Stan makes the mistake of tying a rope to the car to anchor the big guy. Well, it's expected and, once again, a delight. The car starting scene with Stan is stunningly funny.
