Thicker Than Water was the last short to star Laurel and Hardy. Directed by James W.Horne, produced by Hal Roach, and released in 1935 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the short also features James Finlayson and Daphne Pollard in supporting roles.
Laurel unintentionally causes serious injuries to Hardy, requiring Hardy to be rushed to hospital for a blood transfusion. The doctor conscripts Laurel to be the unwilling blood donor. During the transfusion, too much blood is pumped out of Laurel and into Hardy, requiring some of the blood inside Hardy to be pumped into Laurel. But too much blood gets pumped back into Laurel, requiring another reversal, and so forth ... until the transfusion machine explodes. When Laurel and Hardy walk out of the hospital, they appear to have turned into each other: Hardy with his moustache shaved off and wearing Laurel's too-small clothes, while Laurel is in Hardy's too-large clothes and wearing a moustache which is supposed to resemble Hardy's but (perhaps unintentionally) looks more like Adolph Hitler's. The two comedians end up imitating each other, with Hardy performing Laurel's famous befuddled "head scratch" and Laurel admonishing Hardy that this is "another fine mess".
The film's main gags are its scene transitions, achieved by having either Laurel or Hardy literally drag the next scene into the frame from off-camera. This effect was achieved with the optical-printing device known as a wipe.

Thicker Than Water is a story about blood ties; their creation through love, their obligations, and the conflict that results when they come undone. The story starts with Jonathan, a young man on a trip to deliver important news to his estranged alcoholic father Frank, whom he has not seen in over five years. From there the story constricts. Jonathan's long harbored ill feeling and anger act as catalyst to the days events. The tension, as with everything, is massaged through some hard drinks, and the two get down to business. When two people are connected by something thicker than water, there is no such thing as a hole too deep, or a wound too bloody. In the end, there will always be a little bit of light, and a little bit of healing. Written by Mike Dinsmore
