Most of Laurel and Hardy's later films had confining scripts that didn't give the team much room to do their stuff.
Contrary to the prevailing Laurel and Hardy fan clubs party line this film (and the other '40's films) isn't just bad because of the nasty movie moguls imposing rigorous constraints on the boys; it' also bad because-sad to say-the boys are just going through the motions.
It's easy to say that they should have quit instead of embarassing themselves but apparently the income was needed; I wish they had saved their money and had quit while on top.

From this point on, Laurel and Hardy's undying friendship is pretty much a given in their work.
So it's characteristic, it's uncharacteristic, it examines their relationship even though they don't play their normal roles, it's a clinker, it's a tour-de-force, and it has good gags that are scarcely gags at all.
JB: It's almost as if they had made this film a year before, lost it, and then, in the middle of a series of pure Laurel and Hardy films, they discovered Early to Bed sitting on a shelf somewhere and released it.

Sudhalter addresses that point frequently in the early chapters, and in fact even devotes a chapter to Emmett Hardy, a much written about New Orleans cornetist who died in 1925 without being recorded.
Sudhalter's point is not that Emmett Hardy is or isn’t a great figure in jazz but that in basing our judgments exclusively on recordings, we are apt to lose important pieces of the historical puzzle.
Before launching into an extended discussion of Chicago and New York jazz, Sudhalter examines the white jazz elements of New Orleans in the twenties and very early thirties, giving plenty of space to Tony Parenti, Sidney Arodin, "Wingy" Manone and a very young Louis Prima.

The influence of older New Orleans players such as Freddie Keppard shows up on Beiderbecke's famous two note interjection on "Goose Pimples."
New Orleans drummer Ray Bauduc heard Hardy playing in the early 1920s and said that he was even more inspired than Beiderbecke.
Bix was also influenced by music that had hitherto been far removed from jazz, such as the compositions of Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and the American Impressionists, notably Eastwood Lane.

After a brief sojourn in California, he returned to Chicago, and in 1922, he sent for Louis Armstrong to come up and join King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band -- arguably the greatest collection of jazz musicians ever assembled (and all but one were natives of New Orleans).
A young Emmett Hardy, the legendary white cornetist, went on tour with Bea Palmer and, while playing in Davenport, Iowa, was reportedly an influence on the great Bix Beiderbecke.
Bix got his earliest musical experience by playing along with Nick LaRocca records.

When New Orleans cornetist played Davenport in 1920, Bix used to come to the band’s rooming house to practice with him.
He listened over and over to LaRocca’s recordings and the live performances of Paul Mares, perhaps even picking up some of the phrasing from Leon Roppolo’s clarinet solos.
It is not certain exactly how much tutoring Bix received from Emmett Hardy; since Hardy never recorded, his technique and sound remain a mystery.

Although I searched and searched through junkshops, bookshops and libraries, I just couldn't find an authoritative work on the subject.
