Vernon Dent and Harry Langdon - The Hitchhiker (1933)

Another old short on youtube.  This one stars Harry Langdon.  I love the guy, but he's not for everybody, and has a much slower style than The Three Stooges.  From a Stooge point of view, two points of interest:

1.) Like many Harry Langdon films, it has Vernon Dent in a sizeable role.

2.) Like in Langdon's most famous film, THE STRONG MAN, has the vapo-rub/limburger cheese gag Curly did in ALL THE WORLD'S A STOOGE. 

I love the mileage Langdon gets out of a simple premise like having a cold, and I think he's fascinating to watch.  I know there have been petitions for Charley Chase Columbia's to be released, and while that would be great, I would even more so like tos ee Langdon's Columbia's released.  This short, by the way, is from Educational.  Enjoy.
