Mrs, Hardy (Mae Busch) is sick and tired of Ollie`s association with Stan. Ollie doesn`t know why. Stan suggests that they have a baby to bring themselves closer together. Ollie adopts a baby and brings it home to find that his wife has left him and is suing him for divorce. Ollie is left with the baby and forces Stan into helping out.
'd forgotten how funny this film was. Although not full of sight gags, the dialogue makes up for it.
It opens with Stan phoning Ollie, who answers him as Mr. Jones, (To con his wife). Stan gets confused by this and has to check in the mirror to see whether he is Stan or Mr. Jones.
The routine on the bed is brilliant. Stan fidgeting, trying to get comfy and the conversation;
STAN: What`s wrong with her anyway?
OLLIE: I don`t know. She says that I think more of you than I do of her
STAN: Well you do don`t you!
Stan`s attempts to look after the baby make classic scenes, as he seems to enjoy the baby milk, which he takes from his breast region.
another classic line has to be...
STAN: You know, I'm not as dumb as you look!
and another funny moment is when Stan switches off the light and then lights a match...
OLLIE: Why did you light the match?
STAN: I wanted to see if the switch was off!
A great film this if you like funny dialogue. I do, so I`ll give it 7/10
