A rare moment of connubial bliss -- husbands kiss their wives goodbye, as a dubious porter (Charlie Hall) looks on in this scene from the Spanish re-filming of BE BIG (1931) entitled LOS CALAVERAS. Linda Loredo, fluent in Spanish, played Mrs. Hardy, while holdover Anita Garvin, silently enacted Mrs. Laurel, with the help of a native speaker who used a microphone off-camera to furnish the Spanish dialogue. In real life Stan and Anita remained dear friends long after their movie careers ended.
