Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:25475682 |
This movie is very similar to BIG BUSINESS. It seems to be a follow-up to that movie. Great Blackhawk print with top quality picture. Silent, double perf( I don't believe this was ever released by them with a music track). Kodak print from 1967. On a 800 foot metal reel and can. Condition is near mint. A little-known gem from the late silent era 23 November 2005 | by wmorrow59 – See all my reviewsWhile it isn't among the best-known ...Laurel & Hardy films, and isn't as readily available as some, Bacon Grabbers is well worth seeking out for anyone who enjoys slapstick comedy crafted by experts. This movie marked the boys' penultimate appearance in silent films before the switch to talkies, and, like many late silents, it presents the medium in its purest form: the story is told with a minimum of title cards, the wording of the cards is witty, and the cinematography (allowing for brief tattered portions in surviving prints) is a joy to behold. Most of this film takes place outdoors in the Culver City sunshine, giving us interesting glimpses of a bygone suburban lifestyle: the cars, clothes, homes, and household appliances of 1929. But best of all we have a great comedy team in peak form, surrounded by familiar faces from the Hal Roach stock company.
Stan and Ollie work best when they aren't overly hampered with plot, so it's nice to report that the premise here is simple. Seeing as how Edgar "Collis P." Kennedy has stopped making payments on his radio, the sheriff decides to send two men over to serve a summons and repossess it. Guess who he decides to send! The boys have a number of difficulties delivering the document to the uncooperative Kennedy, but, once they succeed in this, they find that seizing the radio itself is no easy matter. And by the way, this is no dinky table-top radio we're talking about here, it's a massive wooden console, about the size of a 3-drawer file cabinet.
