Review

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

Tom Hutchinson

This is probably the finest and fastest Laurel and Hardy feature film, in which Stan and Ollie "fool" their intimidating wives (Mae Busch, Dorothy Christy) with a story of a recuperative ocean cruise so they can attend the Chicago convention of their fraternity lodge. The ridiculous men-only antics of the lodge are wonderfully exploited, especially by the bumptious Charley Chase. The international society devoted to all Stan and Ollie's works bears the name of this film - an indication of how highly it is regarded.
