The Finishing Touch (1928, Clyde Brucknan / Leo McCarey)

Who would leave the finishing touch of one's new home to Laurel & Hardy? Probably someone who wants to build a house close to a country hospital. No noise allowed in the vicinity of the hospital. Laurel & Hardy try very hard to meet the demands of the hospital's nurse. But how solid is a house that is constructed without sound?
Destructive slapstick.
6/10

Big Business (1929, James W. Horne / Leo McCarey)

Big Business and Laurel & Hardy are two different concepts. The idea to sell christmas trees might work, even in California, but James H. Finlayson is definitely not a member of the target group. The American way is to giving strength to an argument by applying physical force. Sure, violence begets violence. While Finlayson destroys the pals' vehicle, they demolish carefully and systematically Finlayson's home. Anarchist humor.
8/10

I'm on My Way (1919)

This little nothing has no instructor. It is abou the dangers of marriage. When "the boy" meets a man who has been "married so long he has lost all sense of pain." He sees himself in the same position and runs away.
Another surprizingly shallow film with Harold Lloyd.

How do you call this typw of car? Anyone?

Two-Gun Gussie (1918, Alfred G. Goulding)

The most remarkable thing about the early Harold Lloyd features is their mediocrity. Harold is here mistaken for the rough Dagger-Tooth Dan. He thrives on being respected and gets the girl at last, rather by chance than by virtue.
3/10

The Non-Stop Kid (1918, Gilbert Pratt)

This is number 2 from the DVD with early shorts of Harold Lloyd. The plot is very simple: The Boy sees the Girl who is going to marry Prof. M. T. Noodle. He impersonates the professor and runs away with the girl. Slapstick.
