Customer Reviews of Their Purple Moment
Laurel & Hardy out on the town (but without their wives) In "Their Purple Moment," Laurel & Hardy simply want to go out bowling, but their wives never leave them any pocket money. Stan has been sneaking a little cash each week and hiding it in a special hiding place, which, of course, their wives are watching when he explains this to Ollie. After the wives replace the cash with cigar coupons, the boys are sent out on the town. Before they can discover the switch, they hook up with a couple of young ladies who have been stood up by their dates and decide to invite the boys to take their place. Laurel & Hardy take them to a fancy restaurant, leaving the cab with the meter running (ouch). Once the boys discover they have no money, things quickly deteriorate until the climatic soup fight involving the boys, their wives, the waiter, the cabbie and everyone else in sight. This 1928 two-reeler for Hal Roach-MGM was directed by James Parrott and has the additional credit of being "supervised" by Leo McCarey while the cameraman was George Stevens, both of whom would go on to cinematic fame in their own rights. All things considered this is a solid Laurel & Hardy effot, not quite a classic, but certainly presenting the boys in fine form. Besides, how many really great soup fight scenes have you seen?

Great music track helps this silent L & H comedy
This is among the best of the recent restorations of Laurel & Hardy's silent comedies. The 1928 film has a new synchronized soundtrack, edited from various vintage-1929 musical scores. The music is as funny as the comedy, as henpecked husbands Laurel & Hardy sneak off for a disastrous "night out." The picture quality is very clear and sharp.
