Laurel and Hardy join the Army in the first movie they made after leaving Hal Roach. They look older than before - they were both about 50 - and with the move to 20th Century Fox, they'd lost some creative control. They do a few funny bits, but nothing that compares to their previous work. Silent star Mae Marsh has a small role, and if you look real close, you might spot Alan Ladd in an uncredited bit as one of the soldiers.
