Rating:  - For a case of
"Honesty is the best politics," so sez Stan in their best ever comedy that is places The Boys at the height of '30s male political correctness ... bossy wives, smoking, drinking in Prohibition, male bonding clubs (i.e. the Shriners*), etc - how's that for "scholarly overtones"? In order to go to a Sons of the Desert convention in Chicago Ollie fakes Canus Delirious, as diagnosed by a doctor brought in by Stan - a veterinarian - because Stan "didn't think his religion made any difference." As usual ... Read More

Rating:  - disappointed
I purchased this video to watch with my 93 year old boss(he is my patient) and we both thought it was awful. We only laughed a few times. I guess we will have to buy the "best of" tapes where Laurel and Hardy do their short, hopefully funny, skits.
Any recommendations from anyone?

Rating:  - One Of "The Boys" Best!
"Sons of the Desert" is often reguarded as one of if not the best film made by "the boys". It's thought that even if you've never seen a Laurel & Hardy movie you would still be able to understand the relationship the two characters had. And maybe that's true. Made in 1933, "the boys" had already established their characters. And there was plenty of chemistry.
When first released many critics cited that "Sons of the Desert" was a remake of they're earlier short "We Faw Down", which is available ... Read More
