A couple of ordinary fellows find that life can get very complicated when they are mistaken for their long lost identical twins.
Laurel & Hardy are a delight once more in OUR RELATIONS, an enjoyable film which lets the Boys simply do what they did best - just act silly. Looking very much like an expanded short subject, the fast moving plot rushes from one absurdity to another, pulling the happy viewer along with it. Highlight: in the tiny phone booth.
Stan & Ollie are given great assistance from a supporting cast of old pros: Daphne Pollard & Betty Healy as their long-suffering wives; Arthur Housman in his familiar role of a hilarious drunk; Sidney Toler as a ferocious ship's captain; and no-nonsense Alan Hale, very humorous as a burly waiter encountered by the Boys at a local beer garden. Funny James Finlayson, the Boys' frequent foil, has a meatier role than usual as a parsimonious Scots.
