Our Relations

Our Relations (1936) is a classic Laurel and Hardy comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Respectable married men Stan and Ollie have no idea they have twin brothers — two rowdy sailors who happen to come ashore in the very same town.

What follows is the mistaken-identity chaos the whole genre was built on: wives, gangsters, a costly ring, and a pair of sailors, with all four constantly taken for one another. None of them knows a double exists, so every encounter spirals into a fresh pile-up of misunderstandings. Laurel and Hardy each play two parts, backed by Alan Hale and their perennial scowling foil James Finlayson. Harry Lachman directed.

This is one of the duo's rare feature-length outings, and the pacing runs tighter than their shorts, with gags landing almost back to back. It is a perfect entry point for newcomers and warm nostalgia for longtime fans. Stream Our Relations (1936) online on iFILM.
