Yes, we're now under "Laurel & Hardy" alphabetically, although they were of course one of the least interesting parts of the first quarter hour.  James W. Horne directed.

A. Edward Sutherland directed this comedy set (at least the first part) in Paris, France, and I have to say, I got a greater appreciation of Bob Denver and Alan Hale, Jr., who'd do this same shtick in the '60s but sometimes make me laugh with it in the '70s.  (Even as a little kid, I was not a L & H fan, preferring the Marx Brothers, among others.)
