Big Business is one of Laurel and Hardy's best silent comedies. The whole idea of the two selling Christmas trees door to door is already a set-up for disaster. Trouble soon begins when an irate James Finlayson becomes extremely frustrated with the two annoying salesmen. Having slammed his door on them, the unwanted Christmas tree continues getting caught in Finlayson's door over and over until a hilarious tit-for-tat between the three escalates into a full blown destruction of Finlayson's property and Laurel and Hardy's car reduced to rubble. The facial expressions and comic antics of all involved are absolutely priceless. Hystericaly funny and very well paced, with a surprise ending, this is Laurel and Hardy at their finest. If you have never seen a Laurel and Hardy silent film, then Big Business is the perfect film to start with.
