Laurel and Hardy : Antoine and Louis I laughed and slapped my knee as the duo reminded me of these two old boys, Laurel and Hardy. Antoine always had a grande scheme to fix things while Louis was always following close behind, afraid to err.
So my confusion stems from: were the film makers creating a comedy or was the ending supposed to leave me thinking romance? At first I was convinced that Antoine was a bumbling fool and had fallen for the girl as Laurel always did -- that won't last! But as the movie stirred in my brain I thought, "Wait, what if this was supposed to be a romantic ending, that the audience was supposed to feel happy for a new couple in Antoine and Blanche!" "Naaaaaah".
But upon further review, I read that many thought this was a romantic ending, that something "real" existed between Antoine and Blanche at some point during the film.
I'm stumped. Great movie and hilarious if Antoine represents a bumbling fool who's found a flake in Blanche -- disastrous if that was supposed to be a match made in Paris...
