If you have never heard of Mill Creek Entertainment before, they have movies and television shows of every genre you are looking for. Recently I had the pleasure to relive some of their films on LAUREL & HARDY Comedy Collection DVD & Digital, which was from Mill Creek Entertainment.

LAUREL & HARDY Comedy Collection DVD & Digital is an informative 2 disc set which shows silent films from their early days together and other fundraisers; plus a WWII propaganda film which is a rarity to view and very interesting. It also includes films before they were a team, which is odd to see, because I'm used to watching them together.

So far my favorite film is The Flying Deuces which starts off with Ollie having a girlfriend named Georgette who he is planning on proposing to, when she tells him there is someone else in her life. He is heartbroken and ties a rope around his waist with a large brick attached. He ties the rope around Stan also to jump in the Seine River and drown themselves. He explains to Stan that all he's done for him he should jump in with him. They talk about what they would like to be if they were reincarnated and Ollie says he would like to be a horse.

When the guy who is married to Georgette (who is a Foreign Legion officer) sees what they are about to do, Ollie tells him about his woman troubles. He doesn't know that the officer is married to Georgette. The officer tells him to join the Legion to forget his troubles and that's what they decide to do.

It is a funny scene when they are marching with the other soldiers and they get all mixed up in it. Then they ask the officer when lunch is. They end up getting punished and are doing laundry and ironing for the whole group of soldiers, and have rows of laundry hanging up on clothes lines. When the guards come and see them slacking off they tell them to get back to work. Then Ollie knocks over the iron and it starts a whole mound of laundry on fire.

Stan and Ollie decide that they are going to leave because Ollie says he is over Georgette and has forgotten her. They get their regular clothes on and start to leave with their suitcases. They go to the officer's quarters to leave him a note on his desk that they are leaving.

A hilarious part is when they are walking out of the army camp and there are some guys playing instruments. Ollie starts singing "Harvest Moon" while Stan dances. Anyways, they get caught for deserting and are sent to prison. They are found guilty and are to be shot at sunrise.

While in their jail cell, Stan takes the bed spring and starts to play it like a harp, which is pretty amusing. At the end they escape and start an airplane, driving it around with the guards running after them. They start flying in the air and the steering wheel comes off, then a parachute gets tangled around Ollies's face. The airplane keeps flying and they finally crash, showing Ollie as an angel going up in the sky. Later it shows Stan walking down a lane, and a voice like Ollie's calls out to him. It is Ollie, reincarnated as a horse. Ollie says, "here's another fine mess you've gotten me into to"

If you like Laurel and Hardy, this would be a great disc set for you. I have always been a fan of them and am really enjoying it.
