    Single-Black-Male

    The 33 Year Old Stan Laurel

    The handy man becomes the married man in this film, although he does seem to be mismatched with his spouse. She's happy, but he's just stretching a grin across his face. There is black mascara around his eyes simply because his blue eyes show up like ghostly balls in his sockets.
