Viewing Notes

Stan & Ollie! So I believe this is first full feature I’ve seen starring these two. Seems weird but perhaps I watched some long ago but none since I started logging films religiously.

This film is okay. Has a few good comedy beats but didn’t really blow me away (unlike the routines performed in STAN & OLLIE). The shitty transfer on this cheapie disc didn’t help matters. Hoping to score a few of the more highly rated titles featuring this duo.
