The Second Hundred Years

MOVIE #1,815 • 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 • 07.15.24 We're still in the “prior to their official billing as the duo” era but we're getting close, as the boys star as prison cellmates who try to escape and dig a hole into the warden's office. A few more non sequitur jail goofs ensue before they ultimately pull off a successful escape and end up in a mistaken identity situation at a high society dinner party. They definitely get to play off each other a little more here but these silent two-reelers are still starting to get somewhat tiresome for me (though they all have their moments). There's still five more soundless pictures from 1927 alone (!) to get through, plus another fifteen (!!) before their first talkie.
