Merry Christmas Everyone!

Currently available at Watch TCM (until December 31st):

The next recommendation is another Hidden Gem (#40: Big Business 1929, U.S.A.), as well as my all time cherished Christmas Holiday cinematic treat. This is a Laurel and Hardy film in which all out hilarity ensues. Stan and Ollie are Christmas tree salesmen who pick the wrong customer (James Finlayson) to call on and the situation escalates from a simple misunderstanding to total Armageddon. Big Business is probably the duo's most brilliantly conceived and executed film of all and is only 19 minutes in length.
