Even the ending, which seems to be a tacked-on gag, since they were supposed to go to the picnic, is a perfect L&H ending. All the gags are beautifully timed including the sandwich gags you mentioned, and despite the basic premise and subsequent milking of said premise, the film goes by in a flash. JB: A wonderful film, the first sound film in which they really hit their stride. The original script for this film has them making it all the way to the picnic grounds, but they kept adding gags as they went and figured it was funnier if they never made it farther than the nearest corner.
I love this one from start (the sandwich platter business cracks me up no matter how many times I've seen it) to finish, and it's one time where they built on a single basic gag (getting that car to run) and kept it fresh and varied all along. JL: For me, the first bona-fide sound classic. They never make it more than a block from home, where their car sinks slowly into a huge mudhole. They destroy a huge platter of sandwiches, inflict various painful indignities on Uncle Edgar's gouty foot, and are thoroughly confounded by a flat tire. STORY: Stan and Ollie plan for a lovely afternoon picnicking in the country with their wives and Uncle Edgar. Cast: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Edgar Kennedy, Kay Deslys, Isabelle Keith, Buddy the Dog. From Laurel & Hardy than from any other movie. : Laurel & Hardy: The Essential Collection: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy.
