Laurel & Hardy, the most accomplished comedy team in movie history, made this comedy classic in 1932 and the film was honored with an Oscaras the first short film. The story goes that Laurel & Hardy have a delivery service and one knows what is in store when even their horse gives them a wink and a nod and. a hard time. They unload the Piano a gift from a wife to her husband on his birthday. All sorts of tribulations go by especially a hilarious run in with an uptight Professor played brilliantly by Billy Gilbert. The film is sheer hilarity from start to fade out.
