“Itu0026#39;s surprising how old Laurel and Hardy look in this wartime propaganda short. They were only a few years past the prime of their career, but they looked like that period was about twenty years behind them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMade in their lunch hour according to IMDbu0026#39;s trivia section, you canu0026#39;t help thinking they could have probably found more interesting ways of filling their time. The film consists of Pete Smithu0026#39;s voice telling them all about the different things wood is used for. There must have been a reason the US government felt it was important that the country should know about this, but you have to wonder why. Was it so people would be kinder to wood? Or perhaps they wanted people to stop hoarding it. Whatever the reason, the boredom quotient of the subject matter is counter-balanced by Stan and Ollieu0026#39;s presence – theyu0026#39;re definitely the best thing about this short.”
