Zenobia Overview:
Zenobia (1939) was a Comedy - Black-and-white Film directed by Gordon Douglas and produced by A. Edward Sutherland.
SYNOPSIS
Hardy gamely tests his comic wings without perennial sidekick Laurel; instead, we get a taste of silent veteran Langdon as Hardy's foil. The plot is essentially a pachyderm romance: Langdon is a carnie who loves Zenobia the elephant, but her affections stray when Dr. Hardy delicately undoes a knot in her tail. The miffed Langdon takes Hardy to court to win back Zenobia's love, but she comes back on her own.

This film was originally developed as a Laurel and Hardy vehicle, but was re-scripted after Stan Laurel, whose contract with Hal Roach had run out, declined to resign with the producer. Hardy's contract was still in force, and the team believed that if they waited until it expired, they could resign as a team and be in a stronger bargaining position. Ultimately that is what happened.
