Note de boland7214
Recommended highly!
I don't know if this is "their best" film or not? But I would say it is at least a "must see" film of Laurel and Hardy. There are some very funny moments in it. I won't, like some others up here, "tell the story" or go into details. Spend the time watching the film instead of reading reviews about it! Your funny bone will appreciate it!!!
Unless you are overly critical you will enjoy this romp! The version I saw was colorized. I do like colorization. Some people do not like it. But it is not an "either-or" issue. It is also on youtube in black and white as well as color. So it is your choice! I like choice don't you? "Colorization" is what I prefer--you may differ...no problem. Above all, you will have fun!!! boland7214 at aol

One reviewer wrote to the effect that: "The 1940's (transferring from Roach Studios to 20th Century Fox) was a sad time for Laurel And Hardy."
I don't think it was such a "sad time". In 1940 Laurel and Hardy were freed from their contract with Roach Studios. They could put some of their own ideas into their films. As far as I know they were still in good health. They looked good for their age. IT'S NOT A CRIME TO GET OLDER as I wrote above! Were their movies in the 1940's as good as in previous years? No. But we're talking about comparing their output in the '40's to some VERY CLASSIC FILMS done before. So, it's only by comparison that these 1940 films were "lacking" in relation to the genius of earlier efforts. I would prefer to watch these later Laurel and Hardy films any day rather than some of the other comic films by, say, Abbot and Costello or The Marx Brothers or The Three Stooges. Speaking for myself alone , I'd prefer "the boys" to any of the others!
This film, "The Dancing Masters" is almost as good as "Great Guns" which is my favorite film from this era. There are NOT "constant laughs" like in some earlier films... the story is silly but interesting...it doesn't "drag" in other words...and "the boys" look VERY CUTE in their "dancing master costumes"! You won't roll on the floor but you'll be entertained....so..why not give the "senior citizens" an hour of your time...I think you'll enjoy yourself if you have a positive attitude! "The Boys" did!!! :o) boland7214@aol.com

Most of the reviewers up here are too hard on this movie!!! It's as though you had a lovely strawberry tart and you complained that there weren't enough strawberries on it! There are many laughs....there is action....gags.....some physical humor (bumping into doors)....a lot of "personality" by Laurel and Hardy....a beautiful lady in Sheila Ryan (I almost fell for her myself!)....interesting story line....a lot of "atmospheric shots" of the army camp and other areas....just a great film. OK....so it's not "Gone With The Wind"....or one of "the boys" classic films.... So what? Just take it for what it is...a "fun" film...and you'll be very happy with it. And, by the way, at the time of this film I don't think either Stan or Laurel had been ill yet.... so they look good! Have fun!!! :o) boland7214@aol.com
