Scene from POLITIQUERIAS, which was the re-filming of CHICKENS COME HOME for the markets of Spain, Mexico, Latin and South America. The comedy of Laurel & Hardy stressed pantomime, but dating from the days of H. M. Walker's witty text titles, sometimes the biggest laughs came from word-play. Obviously the gag here works in Spanish, too. What really puts it over is the context supplied by the filmmakers together with the knowing expressions of these two highly skilled performing artists.
