Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Matt MStan dresses up as Oliver's wife, who just left him, in order to trick an old wealthy uncle who will only leave his fortune to him after having seen her. Another entertaining Laurel and Hardy short from the silent times with a modern twist as Stan dresses in drag for the sake of comedy to hilarious results.
User Review - 6/10 by Mike M"He dropped in to stay for five minutes - he's been here for two years!" This silent short begins in what I think we now have to refer to as "You, Me and Dupree" territory, then - in another example of the polymorphous nature of the Laurel-Hardy relationship - takes a left turn into drag comedy... The trouble begins in a ritzy dining establishment, cueing a lot of can't-fail food-related business - Ollie pouring soup over the head of the baldy trying to catch Stan-as-Magnolia's eye, a waiter who performs Ollie's usual task of stumbling face-first into a cake - as the scenario contrives to throw the leads into as many compromising positions as possible. It's fairly standard, but sports one great, early sexual innuendo (emerging from a telephone kiosk with his "wife", Ollie burbles "Believe it or not, we were calling Philadelphia") and excellent use of a swanny whistle as Stan topples down the stairs in his high heels.
