The Bullfighters*
US 1945. Twentieth Century Fox. 60m. bw

Stan poses as a famous matador in Mexico where he and Ollie are in hiding from a vengeful ex-convict.
The last of L&H's features at Fox, and one of their better ones (which isn't saying much); a strung together plot with occasionally well sustained slapstick, echoing some of their earlier work.
