This 35mm screening, which is also being shown on January 11th, is one of a number of Laurel and Hardy shorts and features on at BFI Southbank in January to coincide with the release of the new movie ‘Stan and Ollie’. You can find all the details here.
Chicago Reader review:
One of the best Laurel and Hardy features, this 1936 effort casts them as two pairs of twins—desperately respectable family men Stan and Ollie, and their black-sheep brothers, two drunken sailors in town for a spree. Though the mistaken identity gags grow somewhat facile and tiresome, the character work (always the richest vein in their films) is lovingly detailed. With Alan Hale, James Finlayson, and Sidney Toler.
