Featured review
Fun slapstick in the sound era
This film is gets off to a predictable start, a runaway glider, but then pulls out all the stops with lots of great slapstick gags.
No, it's not a deadly serious work of art or comedic genius. But it has a lot of twists and turns to make it fun.
Just when you think you know what the next gag will be, they throw something entirely different in.
There's really not a wasted frame in this fine little comedy from a series that produced only a handful of films. This ranks as one of their best.
If you enjoy slapstick, you'll love this one. New prints of it are available at filmclassic.com for $185; too bad such a high price of admission is charged for this little gem, but it does show up on TCM from time to time.
It would be great if Hallmark would release all the Boy Friends shorts on DVD.
