Love 'Em and Weep

Warning: Spoilers
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history, and deservedly so, so I am happy to see any of their films. Four years later, this film was remade by Laurel and Hardy into the Chickens Come Home, so it pretty much exactly the same storyline and most of the same comedy moments, only difference being that it's silent. So the old flame (Mae Busch) of married businessman Titus Tillsbury (James Finlayson) shows up blackmailing him, and his work friend Romaine Ricketts (Laurel) to keep her away from Mrs. Aggie Tillsbury (Charlotte Mineau). Hardy only gets a supporting role as Judge Chigger, a guest at the dinner party. Filled with good slapstick and all classic comedy you want from a black and white film, it is an enjoyable silent film. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were number 7 on The Comedians' Comedian. Worth watching!
