Various Artists - Married Life (DVD)

Classic shorts on the theme of marriage from comedy duo Laurel and Hardy in which Anita Garvin plays Mrs Laurel. 'Blotto' sees Stan making up excuses so he can go out with his pal Ollie for a night on the town. His wife discovers what they are up to, invites herself along and replaces their bottle of booze with something else. Stan and Ollie are preparing for a weekend away with their wives in 'Be Big' until they discover their hunting lodge is putting on a testimonial dinner for them that evening. 'Los Calaveras', the Spanish edition of 'Be Big', combines material from the English edition with 'Laughing Gravy', another short from this period of their career. Also featured is 'La Vida Nocturna', the Spanish edition of 'Blotto'.
