4.0 out of 5 stars Bacon Grabbers- a must see for Laurel and Hardy fans!, April 10, 2000

This review is from: Laurel & Hardy: Bacon Grabbers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

One of Laurel and Hardy's better (and last) silent films. Features some of their standard supporting players (Edgar Kennedy and Charlie Hall) and also a short appearance by Jean Harlow. Maybe not as good as their classics such as Two Tars and Big Business but an entertaining film.

This review is from: Laurel & Hardy: Bacon Grabbers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Bacon Grabbers" is pretty much a unique Laurel & Hardy film because when it was first released it had a musical score and special sound effects recorded on a disc. So it was not a "talkie" per se, but something in between. Without those sound effects, this 1929 silent two-reeler directed by Lewis Foster is obviously missing something. In the first reel the boys try to serve Edgar Kennedy with a summons for his radio, while the second finds them pursuing him in and around his house in high slapstick style. As is true of many Laurel & Hardy comedy shorts of this period, the story is be Leo McCarey and George Stevens is behind the camera. Of course, both would go on to cinematic fame in their own rights. Kennedy's wife in this film is another one of Hal Roach's stable of players, Jean Harlow. "Bacon Grabbers," a great title although I must admit I do not see the connection to the story, is an above average Laurel & Hardy silent short.

The boys have jobs as repo men. And they are out to repossess a radio from Edger Kennedy. For once Edger is on the run from the
boys instead of the other way around. But Kennedy is a slippery old cuss, and L&H have to get creative to serve papers on him.
