Up until 1927, Stan Laurel was a solo comic in films. Then, after several straight pairings with Oliver Hardy, Hal Roach Studio realized that they were on to something and they became a regular duo. And, once they were an established duo, Stan would never make another film without Ollie again. "Should Tall Men Marry?" is Stan's final film without his partner.
The credits would indicate that Stan Laurel is the lead, while more screen time and laughs were afforded to perennially supporting actor James Finlayson. The story is simple....some baddie wants to force a girl to marry him and two ranch hands (Laurel and Finlayson) come to the resuce...which is tough as they don't exactly seem like the heroic types.
This film only earns a 5 because it really isn't all that funny. There was a cute bit involving a donkey but other than that hardly any laughs at all. An inoffensive but not exactly hilarious short.
