"You'll splinter your sides laughing at this classic of all comedies" 18 May 1967 Comedy 55 mins
A slapstick comedy about two workmen delivering planks to a building site. This is done with music and a sort of "wordless dialogue" which consists of a few mumbled sounds to convey the appropriate emotion.
