While on vacation in Paris, Ollie falls head over heels for a waitress who is unyielding to his amorous advances. As a result of Ollie's rejection, the comedic duo joins the French Foreign Legion, which embarks them upon a hysterical rollercoaster ride of chaotic circumstances chock full of the pair's famous slapstick comedy and unassuming wryness. Interlaced in this uproarious comedy are memorable scenes of emotional subtlety that are touching, yet appropriately understated. This, combined with the usual side-splitting comedic antics of the duo, form a masterpiece that is a shining example of American pop culture. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
