Leon Errol brought a rubber-legged, tipsy comic energy honed on the vaudeville stage to Hollywood and became one of the era’s most reliable slapstick character actors. Never Give a Sucker an Even Break pitches an increasingly absurd film plot, Higher and Higher passes a servant off as a wealthy heiress, The Noose Hangs High finds window washers with stolen mob money, and Make a Wish helps a boy at camp meet a famous songwriter. We’re Not Dressing and Alice in Wonderland round out the list.
01 Leon Errol features in this Abbott and Costello comedy about two bumbling window washers who accidentally end up with a bag of stolen mob money.
