    The concluding short of an unrefined comedic legacy

    Thicker Than Water is another Laurel and Hardy short directed by James W. Horne, and while the actors and producers of these silent/early-talkie shorts get much more credit than the directors behind them, something must be said about Horne's involvement with the Laurel and Hardy shorts, predominately the ones in the late twenties and early-to-mid-thirties. For starters, Horne's shorts, speaking of this particular one and Big Business from 1929, have the narrative consistency of being manic and developing a one-thing-leads-to-another scenario, stockpiled with hilarious mixups and misunderstandings. Then there's the fact that both of these shorts have the ability to keep accelerating in their zaniness, in such a way that is hilarious to watch and never burdensome or overbearing.

    Thicker Than Water concerns Stan and Ollie, who are just about to head to the local baseball game when Ollie's wife (Daphne Pollard) scolds Ollie for ditching her with all the dishes and forces both men to wash them before leaving. After a hilarious scene, exercising Horne's directorial formula of filming various things accelerate into complete chaos, a man shows up to collect payment for some furniture Ollie and his wife bought. Following a miscommunication in funds, Stan and Ollie must withdraw the couple's savings from the bank to buy the furniture.

    The scene doesn't stop there, with a whole new set of craziness awaiting at a local auction house, followed by the inevitable scolding of Stan and Ollie by Mrs. Hardy when they arrive home. Thicker Than Water shows an exuberant amount of comedic energy on part of its performers, as almost every Laurel and Hardy short does in some way, and, thanks to the incredible situational and slapstick writing by Stan Laurel and Frank Tashlin, Thicker Than Water never becomes tired or redundant in its pursuit of laughs and potboiler comedy. As the final short that featured both men in starring roles, it may not be what everyone was expecting, but it certainly is a hilarious offering. If only maybe Laurel and Hardy knew their career together was over would they have tried to conclude their work with a bang.

    Starring: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, and Daphne Pollard. Directed by: James W. Horne.

    Moderate L&H Comedy Short

    I won't wade into the same territory that others have. I think the dish washing scene was perhaps the most "Laurel and Hardy-esque" scene in the film, but the one in Helpmates was better.

    Personally I felt that the banter about who gave the money to whom went on a bit longer than it needed to. I hope audiences in 1935 found it more engaging than I did.

    The main reason I wanted to write a review is that I was impressed by the creative and clever way they handled scene changes from the Hardy house to other locations. Stanley grabs what might be some sort of pocket door or panel (if it were a real house) and pulls on its thick black border to walk it across the screen. The scene changes with it. In one of these clever "wipes" he accidentally lets go and it returns to the right side of the screen. So he grabs it again and walks it across the room. The scene change follows the movement of this panel. I haven't seen this trick done before. And being that this was decades before green screen, it must have been rather labor intensive to handle it in the cutting room. Bravo for this quirky little technique!

    "You gave it to him to give to me.....you're all nuts!"

    Another fabulous short from Stan and Ollie, this time finding Ollie with money troubles, drawing his (and his wifes) savings from the bank to pay off their furniture! One thing leads to another, but I won't spoil it if you haven't seen it! Brilliant, and some of the lines in this movie are classic! 7.5/10

    Really funny despite the out of place hospital ending

    Laurel and Hardy eat a nice dinner before setting out for a baseball game. However Mrs Hardy forces them to stay at home to wash the dishes. This, combined with further embarrassments, lead Laurel to suggest Hardy take control of his affairs rather than being owned by his wife. However a confusion over money leads the two men into a medical emergency.

    Although the film feels like it has been made up of several good ideas rather than one, it still manages to be very funny for the most part. The opening dish washing routine is a great example of how much comedy they can get from a simple concept, while the `I gave it to him to give to you' routine is a good example of their verbal skills as actors. The short continues well but isn't able to be as good as it's first half again. The final scene is funny but the whole hospital epilogue doesn't really belong and it suggests that the idea occurred to them and they just looked for a film that they could tack it onto.

    This sounds like a problem but it isn't that big a deal as the majority of the film works really well. Hardy and Laurel work well together and do well with the many types of routine they have here – just the routine where Laurel keeps putting clean dishes into the sink for washing is a good example of how their looks and body language can create laughs. Pollard is a good Mrs Hardy as she is feisty without being too dour. Finlayson enjoys his role as he has more dialogue than usual but also gets to do his `d'oh' and double take stuff (often it seems he either gets the physical stuff OR the dialogue).

    Overall this is a really funny little short from Laurel and Hardy. The ending may feel like it doesn't belong with this film but even it manages to be worth a laugh! The fancy way that the scenes are linked (sliding doors effects) adds a novelty feel to what is a strong short from Laurel and Hardy.

    Pretty familiar territory, but handled so very well

    In their partnership, Stan and Ollie made quite a few domestic comedies--particularly those where Ollie has an angry and domineering wife. So, this territory is certainly not unusual. However, the comedy short is still very well handled and is quite creative as well--providing more than enough reason to recommend this little film.

    Ollie is married to a tough little woman. In fact, the contrast between them is funny in itself. Ollie is of course big and fat, but his wife is so tiny, seeing her scolding him and bullying him is pretty funny. In fact, late in the film, she needs to stand on a chair when she ultimately smacks him over the head with a frying pan! So how did their domestic bliss degenerate to such depths? Well, much of it seems to arise from allowing Stanley to live with them as a border and Ollie's stupid decision to actually listen to one of Stan's "good ideas". Given she has to deal with BOTH these men, I guess I can forgive Mrs. Hardy for being so angry!! Perhaps the one thing I like about the film best were its scene transitions. In a truly unusual and cute touch, Stan and Ollie often stop the scene they were doing and then walked to the corner of the scene and then "pulling" the next scene into the camera! This sliding transition was very well done and it was cute when they would say something like "wait" and then do this.

    As the end of the film goes, I am a tad uncertain what I thought of it. Sure, seeing Ollie pay the price for his stupidity by getting slugged over the head with the frying pan and ending up in the hospital is kind of funny, but it's also a tad cruel and how all this is wrapped up it totally bizarre (albeit, funny). I think you just have to see it--I'd hate to spoil the ending by going any further.

      This is Laurel & Hardy's last two-reel short, except for a cameo appearance in On the Wrong Trek (1936). Hal Roach decided to move the pair into feature-length films from here on.
