JB:
A very funny comedy which was remade as Laughing
Gravy and partially remade as The
Chimp.
The goat here is not as endearing as the little dog in the
later
film, but he's pretty damn loveable just the same. One of my favorite
silent gags ever is the scene where Edgar Kennedy (as the landlord) is
standing in the doorway of the Boys' apartment, telling them that he
runs a respectable place, while behind him, we see a sailor and a
hooker sneaking into the next apartment.
Angora Love may not be as poignant
as Laughing Gravy but it
is funnier.
END OF
"THE SILENT SHORTS"
(But Laurel and Hardy will be back in Unaccustomed
As We Are)
