About Unfriendly Enemies
Finlayson plays an intrepid army cameraman on the battlefield in the world war, and Rowe plays his hapless assistant. Cranking away in no man's land, they take foolish chances and must dodge flying shells, falling down and losing their film repeatedly.
Directed by Stan Laurel, Unfriendly Enemies leans on a strong ensemble — James Finlayson, George Rowe, Fay Wray — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1925.
