| User ReviewWilliam WThis short starts very well but runs out of steam half way through. |
| User ReviewMike MThe slapstick that follows tends towards the painful - Ollie repeatedly landing on his useless limb, Stan sitting on a hypodermic syringe (which drives the nurses, a little oddly, to laughter rather than concerned panic) - yet grants the leads a worthy nemesis in the wild-maned (Italianate?) doctor who, in the dynamic highpoint, gets catapulted out of a top-floor hospital window... The final bout of back projection is so comically slapdash as to almost certainly be deliberate - surely even 1932 audiences must ave been sophisticated enough to spot the fakery? - and leads to a marvellous visual gag: a car that rhymes with the break in Ollie's leg, turning circles, going nowhere. |
