Available in the Blu-ray edition of LAUREL & HARDY: YEAR ONE at https://www.flickeralley.com/ Instagram -   / flickeralley   Twitter -   / flickeralley   Facebook -   / flickeralley   After a terrible boxer loses a bout, his manager takes out an insurance policy on him and tries to cause an accident, which results in an epic pie fight. This film was inspired by the similarly titled boxing match between Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey on September 22, 1927, which Tunney won because Dempsey forgot to go to a neutral corner, allowing Tunney enough time to recuperate from what should have been a knockout punch. Happily restored to near-complete form by Blackhawk Films in 2023, after being available only in fragments for nearly 90 years, this film contains the pie fight which had become legendary only a couple of years after its release. Film critic James Agee hailed the film in a 1949 article for Life magazine. Novelist Henry Miller called it “the greatest comic film ever made.” Director John Ford stated that it was his personal favorite film.
