Berth Marks is a comedy film released in 1929, directed by Lewis R. Foster. The film starred Laurel and Hardy as two musicians, Stan and Ollie, who are on their way to Pottsville to play a concert. However, they accidentally board the wrong train, which leads them on a series of mishaps and misadventures throughout the journey.
Throughout the film, the duo tries to find a comfortable place to sleep on the train, but are constantly interrupted by various passengers and their own incompetence. They also lose their instruments, get into a fight with a fellow passenger, and end up causing chaos in the train's dining car.
Berth Marks was notable for being the second sound film starring Laurel and Hardy, after their debut in The Hollywood Revue of 1929. However, a silent version of the film was also made for cinemas that were not yet equipped to show sound films.
The film was well-received by audiences and critics alike. The New York Times praised it as "a sure cure for the blues" and commended the chemistry between Laurel and Hardy. Today, Berth Marks is considered a classic Laurel and Hardy film and one of the best comedies of the 1920s.
