Like I said, structurally, this is an OK film, better than say, BONNIE SCOTLAND in that regard. It's all perfectly fine, but none of it extremely funny. The clothes scene is OK, digging underground from jail reminds me of a lesser version of THE SECOND HUNDRED YEARS, the suicide scene with the shark is dark but not too dark since you never can take their motive seriously.

It flows just fine, there are no moments that drag, it's a perfectly acceptable one hour plus of entertainment. Other than that, nothing really stands out in THE FLYING DEUCES. I just love the surreal quality of watching Stan mine Harpo territory and Ollie's facial reactions do add to the fun.
For some extreme irony, only one of the two films contains a harp solo - and it's not The Marx Brothers film! Yes, Stan Laurel gets a harp solo here, obviously dubbed and wouldn't you know, it's my favorite scene in the film. Robert Woolsey passed away in 1938 so I can imagine RKO hoping to use these two films to continue forward with comedy box office success. From RKO's perspective, their big comedy team was Wheeler and Woolsey. Both films are the only RKO features of famous comedy teams known better for working at other studios. This would make a great double feature with ROOM SERVICE from The Marx Brothers. My version isn't the greatest print, I hear the Kino version is better and perhaps I should invest in it.
