Review of Busy Bodies

Busy Bodies (1933)
10/10
Pure joy

This gem is pure Laurel and Hardy, no plot, just the boys having fun in a lumberyard.

They use the props available to their absolute best advantage. There is very little dialogue, and it's unnecessary, as they show their tremendous ability to get laughs from the simplest situations and without engaging in vulgar comments today's "comedians" depend upon to get a laugh.

This is a timeless classic. I would rank it as their best, with the possible exception of Tit for Tat, Brats and Towed in a Hole.

It's unfortunate that DVDs of this classic are not readily available in the U.S. at this time.
