Pardon Us ======
This is the main feature on the DVD and it is one of their most memorable films. The boys are sent to prison for making the own liquor during prohibition! The innocent boys end up in a cell with Tiger, the toughest prisoner ever to have lived, and Stan starts annoying him with his loose tooth which sounds like a raspberry every time he talks. Tiger offers to remove it for him with his fist. Stan just stares at him and soon the 3 cellies are the best of friends. They escape from prison, by accident, but are quickly recaptured and then pardoned by the warden! And Tiger is a reformed character thanks to the boys ?influence?. A brilliant film and worth the price of the DVD on its own. This was the boys at their best, highly watchable.
Runtime 60 Minutes. Made in 1931.
The Hoose-Gow ========== Stan and Ollie have been sentenced to jail after accidentally being picked up during a police raid. They escape but are shot in the ?pants? by the guard and are soon back on the chain gang. Whilst out digging ditches, somebody gives Stan a pick axe and he is both hilarious and dangerously funny. They wreck the camp, food tent and guard tower. Eventually destroying the governors car and ending up in a food fight which envolves the entire chain gang, prison officers and the governor. The Cast; Stan Laurel as himself Oliver Hardy as himself James Finlayson as the Governor. A real snap shot of the late twenties and thirties. A young Stan and Ollie but their chemistry is clearly evident.
Made in 1929. Run Time 20 Minutes.
The Battle of the Century ====================
A silent movie this one and a very early Stan and Laurel, in fact it also stars a very youthful Lou Costello.
The film is base around prize fighting and Ollie taking out insurance that Stan doesn?t have an accident and then trying to make hi have an accident. It is typical of its era with lots of physical gags and a pie fight at the end that just has to be seen to be believed. A very very funny short film that will not disappoint.
Runtime 20 Minutes Made in 1927
