Men O'War (1929)
7/10
Stan and Ollie as sailors on leave.
6 August 2017
"Men 'O War" was a short where Laurel and Hardy were still adapting to the new medium of sound. The dialogue is good enough but the pace is a bit leaden. Stan and Ollie are two sailors who befriend two young ladies in a park. They go to buy some drinks but Stan and Ollie only have 15 cents on them. There follows a marvellous scene where the boys agree to share a drink but Stan keeps forgetting this as he keeps ordering a drink he can't afford! The climax finishes with a full scale water fight after Stan and Ollie and their dates rent a boat for a pleasurable jaunt.
