BOGUS BANDITS-- In 18th Century Northern Italy, two wannabe bandits (Stan & Ollie) join up with the notorious Fra Diavolo and aid in his plan to rob a wealthy lord. Appearing briefly as a woodchopper is 6'5" Tiny Sandford. Prior to working with Laurel & Hardy, Sandford was in several of Charlie Chaplin's greatest films ("The Immigrant," "The Gold Rush," "City Lights," "Modern Times," "The Great Dictator").
MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS-- Stanley Dum and Ollie Dee try to rescue Bo Peep and her mother (who lives in a shoe) from their evil landlord, Barnaby. With music from Victor Herbert's operetta, this charming fairy tale is often telecast on Thanksgiving Day. You may not recognize a young Ellen Corby in her bit part here. In the mid-1970s, she portrayed 'Grandma' on CBS-TV's "The Waltons."
MOVIE STRUCK-- With the help of a publicity man, a young girl lives out her dream of being a movie star. Laurel & Hardy appear briefly in a few scenes and Scottish-born James Finlayson (as the director) is here without his trademark handlebar mustache. Watch for a cameo by Our Gang's 'Alfalfa.' Produced by Hal Roach and directed by comedy veteran Eddie Sedgwick.
An excellent companion to this Stan & Ollie triple feature is LAUREL & HARDY (from LIONS GATE). Besides their Oscar-winning short "The Music Box," this one contains "Sons of the Desert," "Another Fine Mess," "Busy Bodies" and "County Hospital."
