Tit for Tat (1935)
6/10
Nobody's minding the store.
5 November 2016
Warning: Spoilers
An alleged improper meeting between electrical store owner and flirtatious grocers wife Mae Busch results in unfounded jealousy from her husband, Charlie Hall, who seeks revenge against Oliver and his partner, Mr. Laurel. At the rate they go, neither store will be standing after this 20 minute short is over. It's always amusing to see adults acting more like children than children, using products from both stores as props in their revenge against each other. While she has more to do than the recent shorts in the series, it's obvious that producer Hal Roach was out to lighten her image. Hall makes an amusing foil, too foolish to be a real heavy, and thus not a hissable villain. Nice light funny later entry of Laurel and Hardy shorts.
