It's our only clue, 25 July 2004
Author: BJJ-2 from Manchester,England

A routine Edgar Kennedy comedy short which has something of a cult reputation nowadays,mainly because a long sequence in the middle of this film has a washing machine being carried up a large flight of stairs.This happens to be a reworking of a sadly lost Laurel & Hardy comedy,HATS OFF(1927),which was directed by the same man,Hal Yates.HATS OFF was the inspiration for L&H's legendary Oscar-winning THE MUSIC BOX(1932),but IT'S YOUR MOVE is the only clue we have to the content of HATS OFF until it ever turns up in some archive or private collection somewhere.The reworking of HATS OFF into this somewhat obscure short was virtually unknown and unnoticed for decades,until it turned up on early morning British TV in January 1988.
