Cast: Oliver Hardy, Harry Langdon, Bille Burke, Alice Brady, Hattie McDaniel
Some Laurel & Hardy movies on TCM early this morning. This one features Hardy without Laurel.
PLOT: In Mississippi 1870, Dr. Henry Tibbett (Oliver Hardy) cures a circus elephant of its sickness, but it begins to follow him everywhere! The trainer sues Dr. Tibbett for alienation of affection.
REVIEW: Stan Laurel did not appear in this film due to a contract dispute with Hal Roach. The Boys would end up reuniting shortly after this film was released. Hardy did a less-than-great job in this film, proving that he did indeed need Stan to be good. Harry Langdon wasn't too bad, but not great. He really didn't give me a great first impression of him, really. This film had some funny moments, but other than that, it wasn't that great. 2 out of 5 stars.
