Amazon.com: "Horns! Horns!" Yes, this is that Laurel and Hardy film: Ollie suffers a nervous breakdown working at a horn factory; the incessant sound of the instruments nearly drives him mad. When his doctor recommends a quiet vacation at sea, he and Stan decide to set sail in a small boat. But they have an unwelcome passenger: bulldog-puss Richard Cramer (an L&H regular), as an escaped criminal who forces them to help him get away. Cramer is delightfully nasty as the bad guy, who outsmarts their plan to poison him with fake food by making them eat it first. --Marshall Fine

Rating: - Stan and Ollie's Farewell to the "Lot of Fun"
Though "Saps at Sea" (1940) looks like a pair of three-reel comedies stuck together, the result is undiluted Laurel and Hardy. This streamlined feature marked Stan and Ollie's last production for Hal Roach, with The Boys making the most out of thin material. Memorable appearances by Jimmy Finlayson, Rychard Cramer and Ben Turpin add to the fun. No classic, but far superior to the team's dispiriting post-Roach efforts.
Rating: - A LAUREL & HARDY CLASSIC
Among their funnier feature films.The sad thing about this film is,it was the very last film the boys did for Hal Roach.
Saps At Sea is one of the most popular L&H films.I've seen it on TV many times.Richard Cramer is most memorable as Nick Ranger.With his silly pet names for Stan and Ollie"Dizzy and Dopie".Definetly one of my favourite Stan and Ollie films.The mixed up plumber is actor Ben Turpin,who was a film comedian in the silent movie era.Incidentally he was also a rival of Charlie Chaplin.
Rating: - My favorite one of the set
I love this one. All of these sets are great, but this one is my favorite! A close second is: Sons of the Desert.
Rating: - A bit gruelling at times, even for a fan.
Bad start- horns honking, blaring rather. Some bad gags about fat. Finlayson wasted as a doctor in a dumb set piece featuring a prostrate Oliver. We have a wanted criminal threatening the boys with a gun, then follows the sad spectacle of their eating a meal of rubbish that was intended for the bad guy. Where is the grace and light that usually fills their films? The gentle saga of two innocents at the mercy of a harsh world? We have started here to witness the deterioration of the L&H opus, perhaps to be laid partly at the feet of director Gordon Douglas. But as they always had control of their ... Read More
Rating: - HILARIOUS!!!!!!
Always one of my favorite Stan&Ollie Films, this one will make you laugh like crazy. The hornfactory is funny and Ollie's "recovery" from his nervous breakdown in Bed that turns out to be a disaster is funny beyond belief. But what really tops these performances is the scene where Stan has to eat the meal he made himself out of some unsavory objects (yes, objects. Such as a sponge)...without muttering a single word he get's his feelings across to the camera like a master of comedy. It is priceless. I grew up watching Laurel&Hardy in germany (i am 38 years old) and i am glad to see ... Read More
