Liberty (1929, Leo McCarey)

Laurel and Hardy are on the run. In the hurry they took on each other's trousers. They find privacy to change on a skyscraper in construction. But there the imminent fear of falling down.
The first half of this film is classic Laurel & Hardy stuff - the "boys" interacting with other persons (vigilant policemen, a suffering record shop owner). In the second half they are alone, interacting with themselves only and trying to get down the skyscraper.
Although it doesn't have the anarchic humour of classics Laurel & Hardy it is still funny to watch.
6/10
