    • Trivia
      This was the first and most spectacular of three appearances by Jean Harlow in a Laurel and Hardy movie. She also appeared briefly in Bacon Grabbers (1929) and Liberty (1929). Because of her fond memories of working at the Roach lot, and because she had a great sense of humor, she graciously allowed Roach to use her photo in Beau Hunks (1931). Only Harlow could be a major catalyst in a movie in which she didn't even appear.

    Silent era comedy short
    DOUBLE WHOOPEE is one of the last silent Laurel & Hardy shorts made before the advent of the talkie era. This one sees the pair taking up employment as doormen at a swanky hotel, where they fall foul of European royalty as well as glamorous actresses, policemen and irate staff members.

    This short is effectively a tribute to the silent film era and there's much to recommend it, from the Eric Von Stroheim impersonator to the early appearance of Jean Harlow who's accidentally stripped by a clumsy Laurel. The focus of the short is inevitably on the slapstick, with characters blundering into accidents and a descent into farce as the duo's antics lead to widespread brawling.

    As ever with these silent efforts, I miss hearing the sound of the famous pair, but DOUBLE WHOOPEE is good enough to make you forget the shortcomings of the era. It's also distinctive enough to be a worthwhile watch, even if it isn't one of their best works.
