Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history, and deservedly so, so I am happy to see any of their films. At the side of a river, a woman carrying washing drops a pair of underwear without notice, and two chatting girls (Anne Cornwall and Gloria Greer) stop over them talking about men. Stopping next to them are navy sailors Stan and Ollie who immediately make them giggle looking flirty, and when they walk away the boys notice the underwear and decide to return them. One of the girls notices she's lost her white gloves, and the boys ask her to describe what she's lost, her comments make them laugh, e.g. "easy pulling them on", "imagine how I feel without them"), but then a policeman gives her the gloves, and the boys drop it. They invite the girls to have a drink with them, Stan chucks the underwear away, and realising they only have 15¢ from bank role, Ollie wants Stan to refuse a drink. Stan of course gets it wrong three times before the order is done, and when Ollie orders a sassafras soda Stan says he doesn't like "frassassas, but he still accidentally drinks it all instead of half. Ollie then gets the bill, it is 30¢, so he leaves it for Stan to pay, and hoping to get lucky Stan puts the money they have in the near fruit machine, and to the amazement of the Soda jerk (James Finlayson), he wins big. With the money they've won, the boys take the girls on a boat ride, and Stan can't get the rowing right, and Ollie joining him doesn't help much either. Staying in the same spot, a boater (Charlie Hall) hits them, and comes aboard to have a fight with them, and when a few more boats are turned over they join in too. The soda jerk sees all this, and gets a policeman (Harry Bernard) to try and stop it, and the boat is too heavy to float, so it sinks and everyone goes in. Filled with wonderful slapstick and all classic comedy you could want from a black and white film, it is an enjoyable film. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were number 7 on The Comedians' Comedian. Very good!
