Flying Dueces Aces Stan Laurel Oliver Hardy
Who would have ever thought such things would happen over a proposal turn down?!
This movie, I enjoyed very much. The main characters were Stan (Stan Laurel) and Ollie (Oliver Hardy). I would say Stan is a lost man, who needs Ollie more than Ollie needs him. Ollie is a very stubborn man who is quite grumpy most of the time. The rest of the cast are Georgette (Jean Parker) as the woman who turns down Ollie, François (Reginald Gardiner) as Georgette's husband, Charles B. Middleton as the Legion Commandant, Jean Del Val as a Sergeant, Clem Wilenchick as a Corporal, and Michael Visaroff as the Innkeeper.
To start the movie off, it takes place in Paris. Ollie is madly in love with the innkeeper's daughter, which is Georgette, and sends her flowers and chocolate. All of her friends and Geogette are all giggly about him. Then Ollie decides to propose to her not knowing she had a husband. He took Stan with him as well. Unfortunatly, she says no and thats when Ollie becomes a mess. He goes upstairs to his apartment with Stan and he tries to relax and get everything off his mind and Stan "tries" to help. But instead of helping, he makes everything worse and leads Ollie in deciding to jump the river. But Ollie couldn't do it alone and makes Stan go with him. As they get to the river, Ollie convinces Stan to jump with him by telling him that if he dies alone, Stan will be nothing without him. So as they were discussing reincarnation with each other, François over hears them and instead recruits them into the French Foreign Legion. When they get there, they are eventually put to work. Their job was laudry work. They did a very lousy job and were kept on being asked to go back to work. Then when a wet underwear was thrown at an officer's face, the officer went and told Middleton, the Legion Commandant, he went to go speak to them. But when he got there, they were gone and a mountain of clothes were set on fire. They thought it was purposly done but it was all an accident. So as they were putting down the fire, Ollie and Stan were at the Commandant's office writing him an offensive letter. They knew they weren't army material. When the Commandant got to his office and read the letter he wants them dead. So when they catch them, they are imprisoned and sentenced to execution. But before sunrise, where they were planned to get shot, they manage to find a secret tunnel to escape the jail. But when the tunnel trip went wrong they are being chased for another couple of hours with the most hilarious scenes. At the end they escape in a biplane and are ready for take off! So as they spent all this time in the plane trying to control it, they end up crashing. Sadly, Ollie doesn't make it and his angel is seen floating out of the plane to heaven, waving bye to Stan. At the end of the movie, Stan is walking alone back home and stops when he sees a moustachioed horse wearing a bowler hat. It turned out to be Ollie re-incarnated, just how they talked about when they were gonna jump into the river. Stan hugs the horse and takes him along.
I rate this movie a 9 because it is my favorite movie I have seen so far in my english class. It was very funny and it made me wanna watch it again just in case I missed a scene. The only reason I didn't give it a 10/10 is because at times they over did the jokes. By that I mean that when something funny happened, they did it over and over again and it stopped being funny after a while. Like the time where Stan just kept hitting his head on the wall about, lets say a hundred times. But other than that, it was a wonderful movie. Its worth watching!
