The influence of a sub-Alfv{acute e}nic equilibrium flow along the magnetic field and a weak fluid viscosity on the resistive gravitational interchange mode is investigated in plane slab geometry. With a uniform resistivity, the current layer is subject to both tearing and interchange so that a degree of mode-mixing is inevitable. In contrast to the tearing mode which is destabilized, sub-Alfv{acute e}nic flow is shown to have a stabilizing effect on the linear resistive interchange mode. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.} [S1070-664(96)00702-9]
