Best of the Best,
By Mike Mepham (Frome, Somerset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Be Big/Laughing Gravy [DVD] (DVD)
While Be Big is one of L and H's best, it is the shorter Laughing Gravy that is probably their masterwork. Here we have the gentle, but irascible Hardy at his comic best, while the dizzy Laurel manages to cook up enough trouble for Hardy to fill a plot twice its length. The two-reeler is the classic version, having the more satisfactory and hilarious ending; the extra reel provides more classic comedy, but adds nothing to storyline that we cannot see in other L&H movies. Unmissable --- and who, but Laurel and Hardy, would name a dog Laughing Gravy? Best of the best and meriting at least 5 stars.

Entertaining, excellent value for fans,
By christophernsmith@netscape.net (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Be Big/Laughing Gravy [DVD] (DVD)
Let's face it - if you're not a fan (and alot of my friends arn't) then this won't do it for you. But for the rest, and i know there are alot of us, this is a very worthwhile disc, with the French and Spanish versions particularly interesting even if you don't speak the languages - Watching Stan and Ollie attempt to pronounce the words is a different sort of comedy! However, this isn't to detract from these genius's (geniei?). Be Big is a typical 'getting in trouble with the wives' due to wanting a good time (watch for the excellent doorbell gags) and Laughing Gravy has some wonderful visual gags showing the pair's silent-era beginnings. The disc is as clear as i've seen, considering the age of the print. Once again - if you're a fan - get this.

Laughing Gravy Fan,
By Joe Tomlinson (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Be Big/Laughing Gravy [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This was the first L & H movie I ever saw. My father managed a movie theatre until it closed in 1951. He was able to have some of the movies in their library. On Labor Day weekends he would haul out his 16MM to show Laughing Gravy and other movies on the side of the Colored School (which was white) just across the street from our house in WV . Laughing Gravy is a little known movie and I have never seen it anywhere except on the side of school house. Glad to see it here!
