“Some of Laurel and Hardyu0026#39;s best silent shorts are edited together with some Charley Chase and Max Davidson films to create a very entertaining film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut why that irksome and sentimental narration – and the hideous sound effects, including vocal effects? They are distracting and often nauseating. These were silent films – just music please!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut the films themselves are pure genius. Max Davidson is a particular revelation – a very fine comedian.
