DVD: www.amazon.com thefilmarchive.org The Flying Deuces, also known as Flying Aces, is a 1939 comedy film starring Laurel and Hardy, in which the duo join the French Foreign Legion. It is a partial remake of their 1931 short film Beau Hunks. The boys are in Paris. Ollie proposes to the innkeeper’s daughter Georgette, who is actually married to a soldier, François. When she turns him down, Ollie decides to jump into the River Seine. He drags Stan along with him, and they discuss reincarnation: Stan: Well now that you’re going to go, what would you like to come back as? Ollie: Well I haven’t given it much thought. I like horses. I guess I’d like to come back as a horse. Stan: Hah! Ollie: What would you like to be when you come back? Stan: Oh, I’d rather come back as myself. I always got on swell with me. The boys are saved from suicide in the nick of time when François changes their mind and recruits them into the French Foreign Legion. They are sent to a fort in North Africa, where they disrupt drills, and are eventually sent to do laundry work. They accidentally throw wet underwear in the face of an officer and set a mountain of clothes on fire. They find that they are not army material (as one would guess) and they desert, after having sent an offensive letter to their commandant. They are imprisoned and sentenced to execution by firing squad. Ollie: Shot at sunrise! Stan: I hope its cloudy tomorrow! The boys find a secret tunnel, but it caves in. They manage to escape …
