4.0 out of 5 stars Ghosts and Mad Professors, 14 April 2003
By J. Skade "joeskade" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is a fine collection of L&H shorts which, whilst not comtaining any undisputed classics, shows off a number of aspects of their work in a very favourable light. It's funny too.
'TheLive Ghost' and 'Habeous Corpus' are both stories containing supposed spooks, whilst 'Habeous Corpus' shares with 'Dirty Work' a mad professor. Beyond these links, the films are very different.
'The Live Ghost' is a typical L&H potboiler with the amoral innocents helping a ship's captain to shanghai a crew, only to be shanghai'd themselves. The usual confusion ensues, winding up with our heroes' heads turned a full 180 degrees in a memorable closing image.
'Habeous Corpus' is a silent but it doesn't let the side down. From the moment Stan and Ollie appear (their two hands at the door knocker in a lovely filmic touch) the film abounds with sweet moments - the 'wet paint' sequence with Hardy's slow dawning realisation of what has happened, and one of their better attempts to scale a wall. The 'plot' is full of holes and the film ends a little too suddenly but it is certainly worth watching (and doesn't the butler remind you of the pianist in Sparks?).
'Dirty Work' is the best of the three featuring a perfect L&H situation with the gormless two as chimney sweeps. In sequences of beautifully choreographed insanity they proceed to wreak havoc on the home of the mad professor (he too has a butler who has the best line in the film - 'Somewhere an electric chair is waiting'). The professor himself appears to exist only to furnish the final marvellous visual gag.But then, why not?
Not the best of L&H but a good buy nonetheless.
