More Laurel and Hardy Har Har

Another silent film, MGM's 1928 You're Darn Tootin', finds Laurel and Hardy at their best having a very public disagreement in front of a downtown restaurant. This hilarious short was produced by Hal Roach, of course, and directed by E.L. Kennedy. The boys get into a tiff with each other after having lost their latest job as musicians in a municipal band. They begin ripping up each others' clothes. Their hats are not immune.

Their disagreement quickly descends into a huge street brawl. A large contingent of innocent passersby are pulled into their fight and are soon battling each other. Having joined the fray numerous men continuously kick and slap each other around. Soon they have their pants ripped off thereby exposing their boxer shorts, BVD's or the bottom half of their union suits while maintaining their suit jackets, ties and shoes. Ollie ends up in his boxers and Stan in his union suit. Even the city police are not immune to losing their britches. 

This film sequence is purposely and meticulously constructed, perfectly directed and performed. A true gem!  Enjoy:
