mainly for fans of The Boys
I had seen this movie a while back and, as a lifelong Laurel and Hardy fan, appreciated it. I just rewatched it and found it even more enjoyable. A caveat: I think the film's appeal is mainly to dyed-in-the-wool Laurel and Hardy fans (however, as 'Topsy Turvy' seemed to find an audience beyond Gilbert and Sullivan fans, I hope the same for this film). First off, the physical resemblance, speaking voices, and mannerisms of these 2 actors is - as many users have commented - so close to the real Laurel and Hardy that one is astonished at the work that the 2 actors must have done; they really capture the essence of The Boys. The conflict between them is well portrayed, and their reconciliation is touching. The film is a worthy tribute to what is assuredly the most brilliant cinematic comic duo of the 20th century. Neither Martin & Lewis nor Abbot & Costello are worthy to shine the shoes of The Boys.
