Laurel & Hardy - The Bohemian Girl & Related Shorts

A classic full-length Laurel & Hardy film, The Bohemian Girl is based on the opera by Michael W. Balfe. Stan and Ollie play gypsies in Europe as it was centuries ago, earning their living by an ingenious means of picking pockets. When Mrs. Hardy disappears with her lover, they become guardians to a small girl who is really the daughter of an aristocrat. The Bohemian Girl was the last L&H film to feature Thelma Todd, who had worked with the team since their first talkie in 1929. This compilation includes one of her starring short comedies with ZaSu Pitts, On The Loose, to which Laurel & Hardy contribute a guest appearance. Also included is That's My Wife, a classic silent L&H film that at one stage was going to be reworked as part of Bohemian Girl, plus the earlier Hardy solo film that inspired its plot, Along Came Auntie.
