This is yet another great compilation of Laurel and Hardy films including a very underated feature "The Bohemian Girl" and three shorts, "One the Loose", "That's my wife" and "Along Came Auntie".
In "The Bohemian Girl" Stan and Ollie are part of a gypsy troup camped on the land of Count Arnhein. They earn their living as pickpockets (the very idea is worth a chuckle) by using a fake fortune telling schemehe. Meanwhile Mrs Hardy (the wonderful Mae Busch) is having an affair with a man who is captured on the Count's land and flogged by the guards. So Mrs Hardy kidnaps the Count's daughter and runs away with her lover, leaving the child with Stan and Ollie. After 12 years the troup return to the same spot and... well I won't give away the ending. The film is full of charm and fun amongst some cheery songs and hilarious performances by Stan, Ollie, Mae Busch and James Finlayson. A most underrated film in my opinion.
I found "On the Loose" to be a wonderful little comedy gem! Whilst Laurel and Hardy are delegated a quick cameo appearance at the end, ZaSu Pitts and Thelma Todd are fantastic in there roles as women who have had one too many trips to Coney Island.
"That's my wife" features a great Stan in drag routine as Mrs Hardy leaves Mr Hardy (tired of house-guest Mr Laurel) just as Ollies uncle arrives promising a fine new home. Providing Mr Hardy can prove he's married and with the Wife away, Stan assumes the role of Mrs Hardy.
"Along Came Auntie" is a solo appearance by Hardy in a comedy co-written by Stan Laurel. In this short a woman must pretend she is still married to her first husband to please her rich auntie, much to the second husbands discomfort...
Overall a wonderful collection of classic comedys that should appeal to all fans of the golden age of comedy.
