5.0 out of 5 stars A Great "MUST HAVE" Film, May 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Laurel and Hardy - Double Whoopee (Silent Version) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Double Whoopee is one of Laurel & Hardy's grestest films. Sadly, most of their silent films have been unseen by the public until now. This film has been pieced back together using four different prints. But despited that, the picture is clear and looks exactly as it did in 1929. The music fits the film and does not destract from it. This was one of the last silent films that Laurel & Hardy made before changing over to sound. It is a must have for Laurel & Hardy Fans!

I have both the silent version of Double Whoopee and the All-Talkie version of it, and it's a great short. I love it. I'd buy it again!

4.0 out of 5 stars Laurel & Hardy with an "appearance" by Jean Harlow!, May 11, 2001

This review is from: Laurel and Hardy - Double Whoopee (Silent Version) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Double Whoopee," a two-reeler directed by Lewis Foster in 1929, is notable because the story is by Leo McCarey and Jean Harlow makes quite an appearance: she loses the back half of her dress in a cab door. Laurel & Hardy arrive at a swank New York hotel and are mistaken for visiting royalty until they are revealed to be just doormen. Once they set to work they offend all of the guests, the local cop and the cabbie (literally giving a visiting prince the shaft). Hardy dominates most of the gags, such as the elaborate routine of signing the guest register, although the best is when Laurel is stripped to his underwear and starts ripping off everybody else's clothes. "Double Whoopee" is a solid Laurel & Hardy silent short, but not one of their best.
