Midnight Patrol Year: 1933 Directed by: Lloyd French Duration: 19m DVD Availability: Try sendit.com (region 2 only) Viewpoint: Hilarious Laurel & Hardy short that sees the boys cast as the world’s most inept policemen. There are superb stunts, Stan pulling some of his most gormless expressions, and an absolutely hilarious brick throwing competition. There are also some surreal gags, like the police headquarters several blocks away radioing their car to tell them their spare tyre is being stolen. The timing of the duo is impeccable, and even the opening titles – the credits being swished from side to side by a car windscreen wiper as it races through city streets – are excellent. Perhaps the only sticking point is that, while usually more suited to the shorter length pictures, this Stan and Ollie film ends a little abruptly, with a rather sick ending that sees them being murdered. Still it’s a minor issue, and doesn’t really get in the way of what is tremendous fun.
