Niagara Falls (1941)
9/10
This was the sweetest and funniest romantic comedy short.

First I want to start by saying that Niagara Falls is lovely even in black and white. Zasu Pitts and Slim Somerville play anxious newlyweds Sam and Emmy Sawyer...a farmer and a farmer's daughter who have wanted to marry for twenty years and finally did it. They arrive at the beautiful Niagara Falls misunderstanding a bickering young couple for newlyweds like themselves, Sam gives them their honeymoon suite thinking it will help solve their problems. Not only are the two not married but they don't get along, which they found out on the road where they met over a flat tire.

"Get away from me you wolf! You picked the wrong little red riding hood."

"Why I wouldn't pick you up if I was starving and you were a ham sandwich!"

He is a young bachelor enjoying being young and playing the field..."he who loves and leaves learns to love another day"...and she wants to get married young and have "oodles and oodles of children" with no divorce.

Misunderstandings abound as everyone thinks the young bickering couple is married...Sam goes so far as to lock them in the honeymoon suite together thinking this will help them work out their differences.

This was so great! Good comedy and an underlining love story. It's a short...and I just wanted more!
