"Tit for Tat" is a 1935 black-and-white short film from the days where you could actually hear Laurel and Hardy's voices. The silent era was long gone and this was actually one of the last short films from the duo. This one was Oscar-nominated and was made after "The Music Box", which even won the Award. The was one thing that Stan and Ollie had over the likes of Chaplin, Lloyd and Keaton, but this was also really only because they did not transition really into the era of non-silent films.
Anyway, this film here runs for almost 20 minutes and the two own a store. Sadly, another store owner suspects Ollie of having a relationship with his wife and so mayhem ensues and the two go against each other all the time. Rogers, Busch and Hall have worked on several films of the two, so quite a few familiar faces in here. I find Laurel as funny as Ollie, probably more, so it sucked a bit that he was only a spectator here most of the time. His look at Ollie's broken hat was priceless though, maybe the best thing about this film. Other than that, I was not too well entertained though, so all in all I think there are better films out there with the two. Not recommended.
