"Berth Marks" is another Laurel/Hardy short film and this one was made by Foster (later an Oscar winner) and Walker in 1929, over 85 years ago. It is in black-and-white of course, but was made right at the point of time when the first films transitioned from silent to sound. As the duo here were among the big stars of their era, of course they were also among the first to adapt to the new approach. The cast here includes one famous name, who is usually more known for working with Chaplin. Other than her, there is not really that much reason to watch these 19 minutes. Stan & Ollie have been a lot funnier in many other works and what i was missing most was the way they caused chaos for everybody around them, unintentionally of course. This felt almost completely missing in here. That's why I do not recommend. Thumbs down.
