Terrific short, all set pieces reviewed below.
The short is bookended by lovely titles with a saw rolling across, gorgeous. Any comedy short is only as good as its set pieces, so I break them up thusly:* The car, with its special radio, is great and reminds me of a story I heard about John Lennon who apparently had a record player in his fancy car, but you can only use it when you’re stopped for a picnic for example, not while you’re driving.
* The sawmill, with wood everywhere you walk. Belly laughs.
* The boys fight quite a bit, in the way the Three Stooges became famous for later.
* The window. Goes a bit long.
* The chute. Incredible.
* Sawing a (something) in half. Brilliant. This gag: 10/10
A great first short to see from my new 21-disc set.
8/10
Sharp cutting tools
For this short subject Hal Roach placed Laurel&Hardy as workers in a sawmill. Just knowing that conjures up in your mind all kinds of sharp cutting tools that given their propensity for trouble you know the boys will be lucky to escape serious injury. So will any and all of the other workers at the sawmill.In fact there is a minute or so of footage in this film where you see men at work doing some serious labor at a sawmill. Also Roach really didn’t have them working circular saws or chainsaws. I guess he did not want kids trying these things out at home. You never see them really involved with any of the truly dangerous things.
They do however have an interesting climax where poor Ollie do to as usual Stan’s bumbling goes through an exhaust the mill has for all the sawdust accumulated. And right at the mouth you see him stuck.
Not the best of their shorts, but seeing Ollie going through that exhaust was classic. Might very well have inspired Charlie Chaplin to do the bit with the Little Tramp caught in the machinery in Modern Times.
