Ghosts and Mad Professors

This is a fine collection of L&H shorts which, whilst not comtaining any undisputed classics, shows off a number of aspects of their work in a very favourable light. Its funny too. TheLive Ghost and Habeous Corpus are both stories containing supposed spooks, whilst Habeous Corpus shares with Dirty Work a mad professor. Beyond these links, the films are very different. The Live Ghost is a typical L&H potboiler with the amoral innocents helping a ships captain to shanghai a crew, only to be shanghaid themselves. The usual confusion ensues, winding up with our heroes heads turned a full 180 degrees in a memorable closing image. Habeous Corpus is a silent but it doesnt let the side down. From the moment Stan and Ollie appear (their two hands at the door knocker in a lovely filmic touch) the film abounds with sweet moments - the wet paint sequence with Hardys slow dawning realisation of what has happened, and one of their better attempts to scale a wall. The plot is full of holes and the film ends a little too suddenly but it is certainly worth watching (and doesnt the butler remind you of the pianist in Sparks?). Dirty Work is the best of the three featuring a perfect L&H situation with the gormless two as chimney sweeps. In sequences of beautifully choreographed insanity they proceed to wreak havoc on the home of the mad professor (he too has a butler who has the best line in the film - Somewhere an electric chair is waiting). The professor himself appears to exist only to furnish the final marvellous visual gag.But then, why not? Not the best of L&H but a good buy nonetheless.
