Busy Bodies
Directed by Lloyd French
Produced by Hal Roach Studios, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A gleefully anarchic slapstick romp where Laurel and Hardy's physical comedy and bumbling partnership turn a sawmill into a playground of escalating chaos and mishaps.
In this short film, Laurel and Hardy wage battle with inanimate objects, their co-workers, and the laws of physics during a routine work day at a sawmill.
