Product Description
Stan and Ollie are on holiday in Paris where Ollie falls in love with the daughter of an innkeeper. On discovering she is already married, Ollie decides he and Stan must end it all by jumping into a river. They are talked out of suicide by a French Foreign Legion Officer who convinces them instead to enlist in order to forget. The boys wreak havoc at the training camp and are arrested for desertion, but make their escape in a stolen airplane. This crash lands, killing Ollie, but the pair are reunited when Ollie is reincarnated as a horse. Stan and Ollie were loaned out by Hal Roach to make this film for RKO and independent producer Boris Morros.

Synopsis
Stan and Ollie join the Foreign Legion so that Ollie can forget an unhappy romance.
As luck would have it, they become involved in attempting to smooth out the messy love affair between an officer and his fiancee. After being in the Legion for as long as they can take it, they want their normal lives back. Ollie insists on their release just as they realize they're going to be shot at sunrise for their rebelliousness. The pair attempt an escape via airplane. Lots of laughs, nostalgia, and action-packed stunts take place including a dance routine to "Shine on Harvest Moon."

4.0 out of 5 stars Great film, awful print, 27 April 2004
Never mind the price - this is an appalling print of this film whichnearly managed to wreck my enjoyment. The picture is fuzzy, there areannoying jumps where a few seconds have been lost, blotches and scrathes.It's alomst unbeliveable that this company had the cheek to release itlike this!

2.0 out of 5 stars An extremely funny movie!, 26 Feb 2004
By Patrik Lemberg (Tammisaari Finland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This is one of the funniest L&H films I've ever seen. There's a hilarious scene, where Stan plays the harp on a drying-rack. Well worth watching. This DVD edition of the movie is quite awful, though. Bad sound, bad picture and no extra features. It's a disappointment even if the price is low, and one shouldn't expect much. Find another edition of the movie - a movie this good shouldn't have to suffer this much in a time of digital technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well this is in another fine mess you've gotten me into, 24 Dec 2003
It's Stan and Ollie at their best. These two gentlemen may be long dead, and their films may be 64 years old, but some things never die.

In this film, Ollie is rejected by the in keepers daughter, georgiette, because she has a husband. You thi nk he'd be used to it by now ;-), but he'll never learn, he decides to drown himself, in pirahna infested water - then decides to join the foreign legion. These are two people who don't answer very well to commitment. Superb, You'll split your sides.
