★★★★ · Mad cap humor · Big Boomer · 2017-11-15
Olson and Johnson were perhaps the funniest of all comedy acts in the 1930s. Their mad cap humor was slowed down considerably by film but the closest recent humor was probably Rowan and Martin's style. Olson's high pitched giggle alone was enough to have an entire theater roaring with laughter. Their most famous show was Hells-A-Poppin'. Sit back and enjoy one of the best of the best!
★★★ · Goofy but likable · tbragg · 2017-03-01
A sort of mystery, but mostly an excuse for Olsen and Johnson's wacky, disjointed comedy. If you've never seen them, imagine Rowan and Martin (from Laugh In) in the 30s. Hard to dislike a comedy with this much energy.
