On Again-Off Again is a 1937 American musical comedy film, released by RKO Radio Pictures starring the comedy team Wheeler & Woolsey.[1]
William Hobbs and Claude Horton are the owners of the drug manufacturing company "Horton and Hobbs' Pink Pills". Although the two couldn't have possibly started the business without each other, they continuously bicker over everything. Eventually, the duo talk their lawyer, George Dilwig, into coming up with a way to split the team up. Annoyed by Horton and Hobbs constantly bothering him, Dilwig sarcastically suggests the two get into a wrestling match. The winner gains full ownership of the company, while the loser becomes the winner's butler for one year.
The film is based on the 1914 play "A Pair of Sixes" by Edward Peple. Robert Woolsey was suffering from kidney disease throughout production of this film, and was in constant pain.
