Flying Deuces A.K.A. Flying Aces (1939)

An American comedy directed by A. Edward Sutherland, starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.
A man tries to get a woman to marry him. When she declines the offer, he brings his friend to a river to drown themselves. A policeman sees this and convinces them to join the foreign legion.
The physical comedy wasn't very funny, but it wasn't a bad film. The plot and characters were clear and I could see and hear everything just fine. The style reminded me of Abbott and Costello for obvious reasons. There was a joke that I did get in which Laurel plays the strings of a cot as if it were a harp. I'm rating this adequate and would recommend it if you don't really care what you're watching.
