"Easy Come, Easy Go" had Laurel and Hardy and probably did
run about an hour. "Bedtime Story," with David Niven, may
have been in two parts, although that's not indicated; I
know that the movie runs longer than an hour.

According to Leonard Maltin's movie book, there were three films titled "Bedtime Story" -- in addition to the 1964 Niven film, there was one from 1933 (87 minutes) with Maurice Chevalier, and another from 1941 (85 minutes) with Loretta Young.

Considering the ages, both of those were a better pair-up with Laurel and Hardy. Also, to fit the hour, they may have either been seen in two parts, or edited for time.
