Twice Two movie scenes

Plot

A year prior to the first scene, Stan Laurel married Oliver Hardy's sister (played by Oliver), and Oliver married Stan's sister (played by Stan) in a double wedding. They all live together and Stan and Ollie work in the same office. After some gags involving telephones, the wives are seen making preparations for a surprise party to celebrate their first anniversary during which a cake lands on Mrs. Laurel's head, causing her to bear an uncanny resemblance to a portrait of Elizabeth I on the dining room wall. Stan and Ollie then arrive but the couples cannot help but squabble throughout the party. In the final scenes a delivery boy (played by Charlie Hall) arrives with another cake which is thrown in Mrs. Laurel's face by an acrimonious Mrs. Hardy.

  • The voice of Mrs. Laurel (Oliver's sister) is dubbed by May Wallace, who also appeared with the duo in County Hospital as a Nurse.
  • This is the second time Stan Laurel appears in drag as Oliver Hardy's wife; the first was That's My Wife. Stan also dressed in drag three years earlier in Another Fine Mess, being passed off to prospective house tenants as a maid. Subsequently, Stan would appear in drag twice more, in A Chump at Oxford in 1940 and finally, in Jitterbugs, briefly, as a Boston matron, in 1943.
  • Twice Two was the last Laurel & Hardy film directed by James Parrott.
