Customer Reviews of The Flying Deuces (Restored Edition)
Laurel & Hardy join the French Foreign Legion for fun "The Flying Deuces" gets its name from the final sequence where Laurel & Hardy escape from a firing squad in an airplane. The boys get in this predicament because Ollie is jilted by his girl friend (Jean Parker) and wants to commit suicide. Despite Stan's more than willing help the attempt fails and the boys end up joining the French Foreign Legion instead. Needless to say, Stan and Ollie are not very good soldiers, hence the appointment with the firing squad. The comedy routines in the film are okay, but there is nothing special. The best moments are the more musical ones, especially a nice soft-shoe routine and Stan playing a prison bedspring like a harp. This 1939 seven-reeler was directed by Edward Sutehrland for RKO and co-stars Charles Middleton, james Finlayson, Reginald Gardiner, Jean Del Val and Clem Wilenchick. One of the writers receiving screenplay credit for "The Flying Deuces" was Harry Langdon, the great silent comic who was just a notch below the celebrated triumvirate of Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd.
Foreign Legion comedy is a typical Laurel & Hardy outing
Mr. Hardy, disappointed in romance, joins the French Foreign Legion, and takes Mr. Laurel with him! A reworking of an older, similar comedy (BEAU HUNKS), this has more action and a faster pace. Highlights include Stan trying to console Ollie as clumsily as possible, a song-and-dance routine featuring "Shine On, Harvest Moon," and a wild airplane ride. If you like Laurel & Hardy, you'll like this.

Just an FYI: I notice a lot of reviews from earlier editions of "Flying Deuces" are turning up here... I just want to reiterate that THIS new version from Kino is RESTORED-- you won't see a better print of this movie unless one turns up after this is released. Ignore the reviews here that mention "Madacy," "Platinum," "Good Times," etc. ... this is the NEW Kino RESTORED version, and you're gonna' love it! :)
