Review of Sons of the Desert (1933) by Anne F — 28 Jan 2009
It is a long time since I have seen a complete Laurel and Hardy film and watching this has made me realise what I have missed. Stan and Oliver want to go to a convention in Chicago, but Mrs. Hardy vetoes the idea. They end up going by subterfuge - and of course get found out...
Stan Laurel was extremely funny throughout- his face, his reactions, his timing - all wonderfully sublime.
If your dvd has both black and white, and colourised versions, watch the b/w version. The colourised version looks very odd. The dvd I watched also had three shorts - We Faw Down (1928) 8/10, Their Purple Moment (1928) 7/10 and On The Wrong Trek (1936) 5/10. I've asked Flixter to add these films to its database (always worth doing).
