Directed by Hal Roach stalwart Gus Meins, this typical two-reel comedy starring the team of Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly featured the blonde, vivacious Thelma attempting to pass herself off as Madame LeTodd, a world-famous French painter. Todd and Kelly was sort of a distaff Laurel and Hardy and very popular in their day. Done in Oil also featured Arthur Housman doing his famous drunk act, Leo White, William Wagner, and Rolfe Sedan. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
