You know, instead of wasting a post by saying something unhelpful
like "ew this is a freakin' old movie"
It's an old movie. Okay. Maybe instead of a negative comment you
could either be helpful to Nobody00's request or not say anything
at all.

It's a 1935 Hal Roach comedy short and it sounds kind of
interesting:
"It anticipates FREAKY FRIDAY as Charley and his wife Toots (Jeanie
Roberts) swap bodies, each speaking with the other’s voice as
Charley gets a lesson not to take all his wife does for granted.
It’s a bizarre little film – unlike the previous two shorts,
Charley and Jeanie do not outwardly look or dress like the opposite
sex, but everyone accepts them as such without question. Chase’s
impotent indignation as a group of housewives give him an enforced
makeover is a highlight."
That write-up is from this site:
https://thelostlaugh.com/tag/okay-toots/. I'm a little confused how
it works. The article says they swap bodies and voices, which would
seem to suggest that they actors trade roles and they dub their
voices, but then the article also says they don't look like the
opposite sex. If they have the actress playing the male role, with
the male actor's voice dubbed in, this sounds like it could be fun!
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be online. I see a few sites where
the video used to be, but it's been scrubbed. I'd be kind of
surprised if somebody actually cares enough about the copyright of
this very old, obscure film to be sending out takedown notices!

Hal Roach also made the movie based on the book Turnabout with
Carole Landis.

Hal Roach would have loved this site.

It was because you personally attacked ColoradoDog. If you had
worded your comment in a less hostile way toward a specific person
it would have stayed up.
Rule 4: "Do not 'attack' other posters. You may attack an
individual's comments but not the individual."
