About the Event

Starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Sidney Toler, James Finlaysen. This inventive feature has The Boys playing dual roles as long-separated siblings: as respectable married men, and as devil-may-care crew members on a freighter who happen on one another in the same town. This twist on Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors was the first film under the Stan Laurel Productions banner signifying the creative genius of Laurel (the skinny one). Film historian William K. Everson noted that Our Relations is “one of the most handsome Laurel & Hardy films, and because of its production values, one that holds up best today.”
Hal Roach Productions/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. 1936. 74 mins. Director: Harry Lachman.
