This was a genuine treat, with all the craziness you'd expect involving a man who doesn't know a war's over for twenty years! Some of my very favourite set-pieces of theirs, including Laurel destroying Ollie-and-wife's car and kitchen, and Ollie incurring great personal trauma and inconvenience because he simply sees Stan sitting in a wheelchair on one of his legs and thinks he's a helpless cripple. Required viewing for fans of comedy or of cinema from the 30's.
