2.0 out of 5 stars
Early L & H talkie is awkward, but amusing in spots, December 6, 1999
This review is from: Laurel & Hardy: Berth Marks [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This was one of Laurel & Hardy's first sound films, and it was also released as a silent. Unfortunately, the film falls somewhere between the two styles, so an upper-berth scene runs too long and goes nowhere. On the plus side, some of the train-station gags are very funny, and the added colorization is a pleasant novelty. Completists will want this, but it isn't Laurel & Hardy at their best.

for an early talkie this production is quite smooth. the pacing,music,and effects are 1st rate. the story is too thin to sustain interest for 20 minutes.elements of previous laurel @hardy comidies are incorporated into this film but new material would have made this talkie more enjoyable.
