Even at their worst they were still funnier than most. This DVD is a fine mix of their silent stuff and talkies. Somehow L & H were blessed to be brilliant comedians with or without sound. All eight shorts are around the 20 minute mark (two reelers).

Habeas Corpus is a late 1928 silent, which contains some great moments. Mainly set in a graveyard with a detective on their trail, there are quite a few laugh out loud moments. The best of the bunch is The Midnight Patrol. This is a classic from 1933. L & H are newly recruited Police officers, who are naturally quite incompentent. Oliver gets the worst of it as usual and gets to give his classic look to the camera many times.
Suffice to say that when they do eventually apprehend the burglar hes not quite what they expect. All these are well worth watching and only time prevents me from reviewing them all in detail.

This whole series is worth obtaining before it goes out of print. There is also a boxed set with a bonus 21st disc. It wasn't long ago that you could buy these brand new very cheaply.
