A Fine Itchy Mess
14 March 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Not the best Laurel and Hardy but a rare one. This Hal Roach production is considered and Our Gang comedy and the kids are on hand. There is plenty of slap stick to go around.

A flea Circus loses their star performer and when the circus owner goes looking for his star, all the rest of his fleas escape and then crash a wedding. One of the largest sequences is the ceremony where everyone gets the itches from the fleas. There are plenty of slow burns and faces as a result of the fleas.

The star flea is finally caught with flea powder from the kids of our gang. The animation of the star flea is the most amazing effect done on this film. There is a sequence where officer Oliver Hardy has his pants stolen by our gang and has to paint his long johns to look like his pants in order to catch up with the kids who have his real trousers.
