After seeing the unfunny and mostly unentertaining GHOST CATCHERS (1944) it was time to see the most famous of Olsen & Johnson's film efforts. I worried that it would be a jumble of random crap slung onto the screen with little rhyme or reason that would end up boring me. But I was happy to find it isn't nearly as shapeless as I had feared and once the third act madness ramps up I was completely onboard. Of course, the fact that the first actor we see in this is Shemp Howard put a smile on my face as well. Strangely, the mid-film music and dance sequence is the highlight but that energetic set-piece would stun any audience in any film. Check it out!
