Unaccustomed As We Are - Laurel and Hardy
Laurel and Hardy‘s first speaking film, Unaccustomed As We Are (1929) starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Mae Busch, Thelma Todd, Edgar Kennedy
Unaccustomed As We Are is remembered primarily as the first talking film by the great comedy duo of Laurel and Hardy, and this is correct. However, it’s also a very funny short film in its’ own right. The basic plot has Oliver Hardy bringing his friend, Stan Laurel, home to dinner, unannounced. His wife, played by Laurel and Hardy regular Mae Busch, is none too pleased, and after a short, furious, and funny fight, she walks out, leaving Oliver to cook the meal for Stan …

Phoning Stan at home, Ollie suggests a plan to henpecked Stan on how to get out of the house. Stan offers to bring a bottle of liquor which his wife has hidden in the house. Mrs. Laurel, eavesdropping on another line, immediately launches a scheme of her own: she replaces the alcohol with a non-alcoholic mixture.

The Hoose-Gow - Laurel and Hardy
In The Hoose-Gow, Stan and Ollie and wrongly sent to prison. They’re actually innocent! But, it’s an excuse to send them to prison for comedy hijinks. It’s a very funny short film, and recommended. The “pie fight” at the end with wet rice is fun, but not as fast paced as I would have liked. That’s a minor quibble, though.
