YOUR RATING

The Laurel & Hardy Moving Co. have a challenging job on their hands (and backs): hauling a player piano up a monumental flight of stairs to Prof. von Schwarzenhoffen's house. Their task is complicated by a sassy nursemaid and, unbeknownst to them, the impatient Prof. von Schwarzenhoffen himself. But the biggest problem is the force of gravity, which repeatedly pulls the piano back down to the bottom of the stairs.

'Foundered in 1931', Laurel and Hardy decide that they have to recalibrate their extensive business empire, so armed with $3-odd, they go into the horse and cart-powered piano-delivering business. Now this is not an instrument that's going to be easy to carry on your back - even if you are Ollie, and as they attempt to get one into it's new Walnut Avenue home we just know that if it arrives at all...

This is to me the finest Laurel and Hardy film ever made, not to mention one of the greatest comedies or movies ever made. Period.
