Laurel & Hardy:The Midnight Patrol
Comedy • Unrated • Directed by: Lloyd French • 20 minutes
In a variation on NIGHT OWLS, with a nod to Chaplin’s EASY STREET, bungling police officers investigating a burglary break into a home owned by the chief of police. The significance, if any, of the use of a specific street address on Walnut Avenue both in this film and in THE MUSIC BOX, remains a mystery. But there was such a street in nearby Venice, and a popular carpenter at the studio lived there. Directed by Lloyd French. With Frank Brownlee and Frank Terry.
