Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This time, Stan and Ollie help convict a criminal who swears revenge on them, forcing them to try and leave town. Sure enough, all manner of mishaps result. I think that my favorite part of "Going Bye-Bye" was the whole scene with the telephone. It's the sort of movie where you could turn off the sound and it would still be a riot.One can see Laurel and Hardy's influence on the relationship between Gilligan and the Skipper. The characters in Gore Verbinski's "Mouse Hunt" also do a lot of things that are similar to Laurel and Hardy. It just goes to show that these guys were a comedy team for the ages. I understand that they co-starred in a movie in the early 1920s a few years before they became a team - and Hardy had appeared in a number of shorts, billed as Babe - but once they became a team, things took off.Anyway, really funny.

This is one of the better Laurel & Hardy two reelers I have seen. The good thing with this short film is that it is not only entertaining and making you smile, the gags still work as good as they probably did back then. I laughed a lot with this short. Only the last five minutes are a little less funny, but those minutes are very original. The final gag belongs to the best I have seen in a Laurel & Hardy short.The story shows us how Laurel & Hardy are responsible for the conviction of a criminal. The criminal tells them that when he comes out he will harm them very badly. Laurel & Hardy plan to leave town. They want to take a passenger to share expenses. A lady offers to go along and of course she knows the criminal who by that time has escaped.The story is predictable, some of the gags are too, but they all work. Highly recommended.

Stan & Ollie testify against a dangerous criminal "Butch" who swears revenge and then promptly escapes from jail and goes looking for them. Laurel & Hardy meanwhile prepare to get out of town and, by a million to one chance, find themselves in Butch's apartment. To say any more would be giving the (wonderful) plot away, so you'll have to watch it. of course, I'm sure most people on Planet Earth have already seen this delightful "short". It's not one of L&H's best but still VERY funny. The film is greatly assisted by Walter Long (the ultimate comedy tough guy) who plays "Butch". I've just seen Going Bye Bye on BBC2. The restored version is magnificent. It looks as if it was made yesterday! Well worth watching.

In this one Stan and Ollie testify against a ruthless gangster named Butch who vows revenge on the duo. So, then Stan and Ollie leave town to avoid him, and fail in the process! This episode is another one of my favorites of the Laurel and Hardy series. Walter Long was expectional as the villain Butch, and Mae Busch played his girlfriend, and she was a very accomplished actress in her heyday! Those two just blended in very well with Laurel and Hardy. (Spoiler): The best part was the end when Butch got caught and Stan and Ollie had their legs tied around their necks and Ollie says to Stan his famous line, "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into!" And Stan just did one of his trademarks, the incoherent sob! This L&H episode is a definate must-see for any fans! Don't miss it! :)
