Sons of the Desert (1933)

Stan Laurel as Stan

Oliver Hardy as Oliver

Charley Chase as Charley

Mae Busch as Lottie Hardy

Dorothy Christy as Betty Laurel

Lucien Littlefield as Dr. Horace Meddick, the veterinarian

Stan and Ollie want to go to the national convention of the Sons of the Desert fraternal lodge in Chicago. Unfortunately Mrs Laurel and Mrs Hardy want to go to the mountains.

For me, this is Laurel and Hardy at their very best. The storline, though basic, is a much imitated classic. The gags come thick and fast. The slapstick is perfectly executed, and every performer plays their part to perfection. As always with Laurel and Hardy, it's the lovely slow little bits and pieces around the chaotic gags that make it so very good.

A particular stand-out scene is Ollie faking his "nervous shakedown" and Stan providing chaos and a vet to help out.

Charley Chase makes the most of his cameo appearance as a rather annoying felow Son of the Desert.

Special mention should also go to Ty Parvis and Charita Alden of Honolulu Baby fame.

Director William A. Seiter had already been directing films for almost 20 years when Sons of the Desert came out and he's competent and unflashy.

Mark: 10/10

Dorothy Sebastian and Greta Garbo in The Single Standard, 1929

“Mentally, she is very bright. She is stimulating to talk to. She enjoys a good joke, even when it is on herself, which is, after all, the acid test for a sense of humor. From a professional angle, I believe Greta is born with the gift of genius and that as a film star she hasn’t yet scratched the surface of the glorious future that awaits her. I think her role in Anna Christie came closest to showing us what the real talents of Greta Garbo can do.”

-Dorothy Sebastian, Screenland, June 1931

Tonight I watched Poirot Season 1, Episode 7: "Problem at Sea," and almost immediately recognized Colin Higgins, who I know as Mr. Morecambe from the 1987 miniseries adaptation of Dorothy L. Sayers' Have His Carcase. I immediately made the connection that the episode also contained two characters named Mr. and Mrs. Tolliver, and of course "Tilly Tolliver" was Mrs. Morecambe's stage name in HHC. I thought the actor playing Mr. Tolliver also looked familiar, so I looked him up as well....and found out he was played by Geoffrey Beevers, who I was recognizing because he played Ryland Vaughn in the 1987 Strong Poison. I also noticed that Mrs. Tolliver was played by Caroline John, his real-life wife...who also played Miss Burrows in Gaudy Night.

England really do be a small island, sometimes.

#Dorothy L. Sayers #Agatha Christie #Poirot #Lord Peter Wimsey #Of course Caroline John was more famous for being on Doctor Who #and that episode also contains an actor named John Normington who I recognized from the Fifth Doctor's “The Caves of Androzani” #I could do this all day tbh #also that is the BEST insult name ever #“Check out John Normington over here” you'd say #indicating that the person is very boring and unremarkable

I know nothing about the organization, but this might be fun. The event is at 19:00-20:00 GMT (11:00-12:00 PST) on Feb. 5 and costs £10.00.

Note that it's virtual so you don't need to be in London to participate.
