March Of The Wooden Soldiers (1934)

In Toyland the evil Silas Barnaby attempts to force Bo Peep to marry him prompting Stannie Dum and Ollie Dee to do what they can to thwart his plans .
Basically this is Stan and Ollie in panto with a load of operetta songs thrown into the mix. For once colour would have been nice here to make the most of the wonderful sets. However, although this was made during their best period, this isn't one of their best. More than most, the film lags horribly when the boys are not on the screen.
