Topic: Charley Chase: The Hal Roach Talkies Volume One 1930-31

You've piqued my interest. I've only seen maybe a handful of his post 1931 Roach shorts, and that isn't one of them.

What did you think of ROUGH SEAS (1931)? The old adage is that sequels are rarely as good as the original film but I thought ROUGH SEAS beat HIGH C's by a mile. Lots of fun.

I too liked ROUGH SEAS better than HIGH C'S.  I thought of this and it was echoed in the audio commentary....put the two films together and you have a legitimate six reel feature.

Finally got a chance to watch the first 5 shorts today. They’ve all had good moments, but probably my favorites so far have been ALL TEED UP and FIFTY MILLION HUSBANDS. Looking forward to watching the rest of the shorts later.
