Our Relations (1936)


OUR RELATIONS  (1936)  ¢ ¢ ¢

A comedy of mistaken identity starring Laurel and Hardy as brothers who cross paths with another pair of brothers, their long-lost twins, also played by Laurel and Hardy. The gags are typical Stan and Ollie, and as the film goes on and the brothers start to get mixed up, you really have to pay attention from one scene to the next to know which Stan-and-Ollie characters you're looking at. There are two pairs of women in the story, too, and true to the Laurel-and-Hardy formula, the boys can't catch a break from any of them.
