Jitterbugs (1943)

War-time America and Stan and Ollie are on the road to earn a living as a travelling 2 man jitterbug band. They run out of petrol and think they are in luck when they are offered some gasoline pills which turn water into fuel. And so starts a non-Roach feature film which gives the Boys a great opportunity to re-inhabit their classic Stan and Ollie personas with some typical L & H dialogue, some well set up slapstick and even Stan in the stand-by gag of drag. (Don’t be put off by their Jitterbug zoot suits – they make their entrance in their more familiar garb including bowler hats)
