Although very weak, owing to Stan's illness, it does have a certain charm to it. I highly recommend the book you mention about the film as it listed four different film versions in the English language--apparently two have never surfaced.

I feel This pair is a worthy addition to your list. While I like your choices, please take a look at Harold Lloyd & Jobyna Ralston in classics like GIRL SHY, THE FRESHMAN, & THE KID BROTHER.

Also, I've yet to catch their final film, See My Lawyer. I can, however, urge anyone unfamiliar with O&J to see 1943'S Crazy House.
