Audience Member To get ready for Stan and Ollie, I decided to watch a few of there old short films. One Good Turn is a brilliantly acted and extremely funny film, filled with great slapstick jokes. It's very poorly made by today's standards e.g the editing, cinematography and audio are all terrible but I'm not gonna to judge the film because it was made in 1931. Overall, a funny film which is a good way of remembering Laurel and Hardy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A fun turn by the comedic duo in which Laurel and Hardy, endangered by the Great Depression and thus not having had food in three days (though surely Ollie could have gone a while longer) overhear a kind lady, who has taken them in and given them sandwiches and comfort, is in danger of eviction by her landlord. Not knowing they're simply amateur actors rehearsing for a community play, they try to help her out and chaos ensues. At the end is one of the rare times on screen that Laurel takes revenge on Hardy for ill-treatment.

The usual good short comedy by the legendary comedy film. Great gags and great timing and overall very entertaining.
