Hay Foot (1942)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Third film in Hal Roach's steamliner Doubleday series has Sgt. Doubleday (William Tracy) once again getting on the nerves of the brutish Sgt. Ames (Joe Sawyer). The adventure here is that a Colonel (James Gleason) thinks that Doubleday is an expert sharp shooter when in fact he's terrified of guns. If you've see any of the other films in the series then you should know what to expect. Whether you enjoy this series or not will depend on how much you can put up with the two leads but I personally find them mildly entertaining. Sure, they're not Abbott and Costello or Laurel and Hardy but they don't have to be. Both Tracy and Sawyer are good in their roles, which they seemed born to play. THe real scene stealer here is James Gleason who delivers a fine performance as the Colonel and the father of a girl who Doubleday and Ames are after. The comedy is hit and mis throughout the film but there are enough small laughs to keep the film moving throughout its 47-minute running time.
