Laurel & Hardy: Bacon Grabbers [VHS]
Their next to last silent comedy, "Bacon Grabbers" is an excellent Laurel and Hardy comedy, and boasts the sort of stellar cast which would follow the boys into talkies--Edgar Kennedy, Charlie Hall and even the young Jean Harlow, who was headed for superstardom. The plot was one of those simplistic wonders for which silent comedy was so well known: Stan and Babe are members of the local constabulary, assigned to the attachment squad. Edgar has stiffed the lienholder on his grand console; the boys are sent to serve him with papers and get it back. Sounds simple, right? Remember this is the world of Laurel and Hardy!
