Review of Our Wife

Our Wife (1931)
9/10
Babe And Babe
15 December 2020
Oliver Hardy - whose real nickname was 'Babe' -- is about to be married to Babe London. Stan Laurel is the best man. It's all very unlikely, isn't it? When her father, James Finlayson, locks her in her room, she and Hardy decide to elope.

It all goes very poorly, of course, and full of laughs, with all the props helping out: the missing ladders, the tiny car for the oversized lovers, and wait until you see who the Justice of the Peace is!

Miss London was a moderately successful 'fat girl' comic in the 1920s, and she seems a perfect match for Hardy. She continued in small roles in the movies until 1960 and died in 1980, age 79.
