The Music Box (1932)

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2005 Filmcritic.com

This 30-minute Laurel & Hardy classic is the duo's only Oscar-winning film, an archetypal short about the boys' foolhardy job of carrying a piano up an endless flight of stairs as the first job of their budding delivery company. It's an often hysterical example of Laurel and Hardy's pioneering brand of physical, feuding-buddy comedy.
