4.0 out of 5 stars Excellently amusing, 28 Dec 2001
By A Customer
THis film stands out for me. It has some scenes which are incredibly funny like the part when they demonstrate supposed 'mouse traps' to people of swizerland. It also has a part which partly echos the piano movers sketch from earlier on, the mountain ape also plays some very amusing and facsinating roles. But how does Ollie fair when he falls in love the 'chambermaid' or should one say, the wife of the composer residing in a hotel. To find out, I reccommend buying this hilarious classic with Stan and Ollie and their idiotic yet wisecravking best!

3.0 out of 5 stars Laurel & Hardy encounter a gorilla in the Swiss Alps...,, 13 April 2005
By A Customer
Laurel & Hardy are mousetrap salesmen working Switzerland since obviously it has a lot of mice because of all of that Swiss cheese. After their disastrous product demonstration at a classy hotel, the boys are put to work in the kitchen for a knife-wielding cook (Ludovico Tomarchio). The rule is every time they break another dish, the cook adds another day to their period of serviturde, marked out on a blackboard. Consequently, the boys are around for a local music festival and end up helping the feuding husband-and-wife singing team of Anna and Victor Albert (Della Lind and Walter Woolf King) save their troubled marriage.

"Swiss Miss," directed by John G. Blystone in 1938 for Hal Roach-MGM, is not one of the better Laurel & Hardy feature films. Too much time is devoted to the feuding couple, who are not very sympathetic figures and just take screen time away from the boys. The film does have the legendary sequence at the end where Laurel & Hardy are moving a piano across a trestle bridge only to encounter a gorilla. But the best sequence is when Stan tricks a St. Bernard into giving up his supply of rescue brandy. However, the film does continue the tradition of finding interesting new costumes (lederhosen) for the boys to wear.

3.0 out of 5 stars Swiss Miss, 27 Mar 2006
Swiss Miss is a well directed film, and when you watch the first scene it is hard to belive it's over 70 years old. But the crucial problem here is it's scattiness. There are some classic scenes such as the piano-across-the-bridge routine, the part where Stan tries to con brandy from a rescue dog, and the cheese makers shop scene. Other foul parts include the wasteful romance scenes and pointless songs (although they are fun to listen to!) The very end surprise made me laugh but I won't give it away! I really want to integrate the good parts into a short, fast paced version. It's either a high three stars or a low four stars rating.
