While IMDB says that the stairs used in this comedy short look like the ones in "Hat's Off" and "The Music Box", it apparently is not the exact same ones. But it's obvious that much of "It's Your Move" was inspired by these two Laurel & Hardy films...as well as a Three Stooges film. In each, the leading characters need to go up a long flight of stairs in order to make a delivery. Despite this, not the entire film was based on these previous shorts...just portions.
Edgar (Edgar Kennedy) learns that his landlord is selling the house they've been living in for years and Edgar gets the man to agree to sell it to him. However, Edgar doesn't know that his wife has given the money Edgar saved to her ne'er do well brother so he can start a business. Edgar MUST get the money back as soon as possible or they'll find themselves homeless. So what he and the brother-in-law do is sell off his stock and HOPE they can earn enough to for the payment.
The portion where the pair are delivering a second-hand washer is the part like the previous movies. Oddly, however, "It's Your Move" doesn't seem to make the most of this and it makes you long for "The Music Box" (as for "Hats Off" it's a silent film that is lost and assumed gone forever). Fortunately, the later portion of the film is better and ends pretty well. As for me, however, I've never been a fan of this series, as it's really unfunny after a while watching the in-laws treating Edgar like garbage. It wears thin QUICKLY.
