I remember feeling how weird it was in seeing Laurel without Hardy in this Hal Roach comedy, released in 1927. I kept expecting Ollie to turn up to give Stan a hand! Stan plays the butler of a household where the wife is being blackmailed after some compromising letters of hers have finished up in the wrong hands. She enlists Stan's help in finding these letters before the wife's husband finds out about them. Laurel should have been given top billing as he is the one who takes centre stage along with his leading lady. American film comedy had moved on by 1927 and "Eve's Love Letters" is an example of a slightly different kind of comedy. There are some good laughs and there is a fair bit of comic incident.
