They may have been in it for only forty-one
seconds, but this film seems to be seen as a film starring
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, it is even included in their full film
collection. Basically ZaSu (ZaSu Pitts) and Thelma (Thelma
Todd) reminisce on how many times they have been to Coney Island,
and the amount of china ornaments they have won proves it, and they are
saying they don't want to go again for a long time. While walking, they
get sprayed by a mud puddle by the car of Mr. Loder (John Loder), and as
an apology, he offers to buy them new clothes, and take them for a day
out with his friend (Claud Allister) to somewhere original. In fact, it
is not original in any way, it is Coney Island, and rather than complain
they go through the shaking shack, rolling tunnel, spinning (roundabout)
floor, slides, rocking bridge and water cart with a fake smile.
The final scene of the film sees them
returned home, and Stan and Ollie come in to invite them for a day out
at Coney Island, and they retreat from the girls throwing ornaments at
them. Also starring
Billy Gilbert as Pierre the Dressmaker, Gordon Douglas as Fun House
Worker, Otto Fries as Belligerent Bully, and Jack Hill as Fun House
Worker. Even in their few seconds, Laurel and Hardy add a good
moment of humor—the rest of the film isn't too bad either. Worth
watching! |
