![]() As the end of the film goes, I am a tad uncertain what I thought of it. In a truly unusual and cute touch, Stan and Ollie often stop the scene they were doing and then walked to the corner of the scene and then "pulling" the next scene into the camera! This sliding transition was very well done and it was cute when they would say something like "wait" and then do this. Hardy for being so angry!! Perhaps the one thing I like about the film best were its scene transitions. Given she has to deal with BOTH these men, I guess I can forgive Mrs. In fact, late in the film, she needs to stand on a chair when she ultimately smacks him over the head with a frying pan! So how did their domestic bliss degenerate to such depths? Well, much of it seems to arise from allowing Stanley to live with them as a border and Ollie's stupid decision to actually listen to one of Stan's "good ideas". Ollie is of course big and fat, but his wife is so tiny, seeing her scolding him and bullying him is pretty funny. In fact, the contrast between them is funny in itself. Ollie is married to a tough little woman. However, the comedy short is still very well handled and is quite creative as well-providing more than enough reason to recommend this little film. So, this territory is certainly not unusual. In their partnership, Stan and Ollie made quite a few domestic comedies-particularly those where Ollie has an angry and domineering wife.
