when the movie begin and it obvious just how old and sick the boy be . although oliver hardy be enormous and it be stanley that look like death warm over . apparently and he be deathly ill during production and have obviously lose a lot of weight . although he would eventually recover and live another decade and a half and here he look like a die man . additionally and a i watch the film i be shocked how many pratfall stan take i half expect his to drop dead from the exertion . i really can not understand why they come out of retirement consider their health especially when the story and production value be as poor a they be with this film . stanley inherits an island and a boat . he and ollie be ready to leave when antoine and a stateless man and be literally drop into their boat and they begin their voyage to find the island . along the way and they discover that giovanni have stow away and but despite this the four men become friend and land on a different island . it seem like paradise and they be all very happy . a bit later and a pretty young lady join them and everything look grand . unfortunately and uranium be discover on the island and the place become flood with riffraff . eventually and the mob decide to hang the four men and take over at which point the island sink back into the sea and the men be spar . i will give the film some credit for be original and for be interesting . however and one thing it be not be funny and that be unforgivable for a laurel and hardy flick . while not a bad film and it certainly isn not a good one . a sad end to their brilliant career . all the actor and except for the duo and be dub into english and a the movie be make in france . while it may not be the very bad film they make ( this would be the big noise ) and it sure be close . watch this film be painful and like watch people clean up after a severe accident .
