Reviews for The Music Box
Review - Music Box, The
Slapstick, but enthusiastic slapstick. It keeps you watching to see just how stupid they can be. The movie won an Oscar for best short film.

| Description: | Laurel and Hardy go into business as movers. Their first job is to deliver a piano to a house at the top of a long flight of stairs. Several times, mishaps occurred and the piano rolled down the stairs. At one point, an angry professor pushes past them, upset that they're blocking the way. When they finally get it to the top, a delivery man tells them there is a road to the top of the hill, so they carry the piano all the way down, put it on their wagon and take it back up. More mishaps occur as they attempt to get it into the house. When the finally do, the professor comes in and sees the mess they've made. He hates piano and smashes it with an axe. His wife comes home and tells him she bought it for him for a gift. |
