"Dirty Work" is a black-and-white short film starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. This one here was made in 1933, so over 80 years ago. At this point, they were already in sound and silent films were a thing of the past. Here the two have trouble with a mad scientist and more mayhem than usual happens probably because of that. The director is Lloyd French, who only became 50 years old, but made over 100 films, including many short movies, during his 15 years of creative movie-making. This one here is certainly not one of his best works and I also don't think it's among Laurel and Hardy's finest. All in all a mediocre film that could have needed some better (and more frequent) humor.
