Review of Big Business (1929) by Byron B — 05 Sep 2016
It's Christmas time in Southern California. There isn't a snowflake in sight, but Laurel and Hardy are going big in business as Christmas tree salesmen. James Finlayson, a character actor from many Laurel and Hardy silents is a particularly tough customer.
The sight gags, pratfalls, and comic destruction keeps on building without letting up. Finlayson, the homeowner, wants the annoying salesmen off his stoop. Stan and Ollie, at first through little accidents and then through pure vengeance, are determined to show that they won't be rudely ignored.
Comic genius with laughs throughout nearly the whole 20 minutes.
