If you're a Laurel and Hardy fan, you know that anything with Mae Busch is a classic. GOING BYE BYE is filled with gags and one liners, well directed by veteran Charley Rogers. Rogers may have just let he cameras roll and had the boys improvise their material, which was the key to their success.
Stan and Ollie's testimony have locked away tough guy Walter Long --for LIFE! Of course, Long declares somehow, someway he'll get out of prison and wrap their legs around their necks! The boys decide to get outta' town fast and advertise for a companion to pay expenses. Who else but Mae Busch --Long's gal pal? Long, as can be expected, crashes out of the big house and there's trouble brewin'!
Lots of goofy material, especially Long locked inside a trunk and the boys trying to get him out --not knowing who he is. By the way, watch the room fall apart! An interesting footnote, mentioned many times, Stan Laurel liked using Walter Long as a heavy, because --as he put it --he had absolutely no comedic ability. Best as a bad guy with NO smiles.
Mae Busch is a stylish dresser in this one, looking fabulous.
This short is one of a handful that was colored for vhs back in the 1980s and 90s, but the old black and white prints have never lost their charm. Also remastered blu ray.
