Review: In many ways DIRTY WORK is a predictable L&H short on the surface with the boys going to sweep someone's chimney . Guess what happens next ? That's right slapstick at its most sucessful ensues .

But there's one or two things that seem untypical . Ollie for example is very unlikable , he's arrogant , he's rude , and not only to Stan look at the way he addresses the servant with " HEY YOU " and takes a childish huff very easily with his catchphrase being " I have nothing to say " . In short Ollie plays a bully in a very unlikable way and I much prefer to see him to play the arrogant coward where he's always at his funniest

DIRTY WORK also lacks the reportary regulars of the other L&H shorts like Finlayson , Long , Busch and Housman which means when we switch to the mad scientist plotline there's a slightly creepy atmosphere that jars with the rest of the movie

Having said that this is still a good short mainly down to Stan . Also watch out for a scene featuring a fish . Many jokes/plots from L&H feature fish and this is another one
