PUNQ

Rated 10 Jan 2015

Wallace Beery & Raymond Hatton were somewhat of a comedy team back in the silent days: Sort of a less distinct Laurel & Hardy type gimmick. Beery the heavy and Hatton the clutz. In Behind the Front (1926) they are fooled by Mary Brian into signing for the army and are sent to war! I wanted to like this. But this was lazy comedy writing. In this movie there are many potentially funny scenarios, but they have no gags set up. Instead they just have the two goofing around!
