Laurel and Hardy Early Silent Classics DVD Movie

Laurel and Hardy Early Silent Classics Description: "Laurel and Hardy ('The Boys' as they are affectionately known) are the most recognized comedy duo the cinema has produced. The film that introduced them as the “Stan and Ollie" characters we know so well today was 1927's Do Detectives Think? Before that, Stan Laurel (from England) and Oliver Hardy (from America) had long solo careers, as this collection of rare and hilarious comedies shows.

Hardy entered movies in 1913, Laurel in 1917. Stan often played sharp-witted types, and Ollie "heavies" or villains (often with comics Billy West or Larry Semon). By the mid-1920's both were employed at the Roach Studios, still playing different roles, with Laurel also gag-writing and even directing Charley Chase, James Finlayson, Our Gang – and Oliver Hardy!

Producer Hal Roach played "comic roulette," teaming his stars in the hopes of hitting box office gold. The boys make their first appearance together in Lucky Dog, but it will be another ten years before they truly become a team. This collection showcases the comic genius of two great performers on the road to fame – Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy.

Paper Hanger's Helper (1915) with Oliver Hardy, Bobby Ray: In this early knockabout farce, Hardy, the lazy boss, and Ray his "helper" give the local sanitarium a "pasting” they won't soon forget!

Lucky Dog (1917) with Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy: The Boys' first screen appearance together! In this historic comedy, Stan, evicted by his landlady, pick up a stray mutt. After a series of misadventures with a cop, a dog show and high society, the dog saves the day with a stick of dynamite by blowing Ollie Up!

Sawmill (1921) with Larry Semon, Oliver Hardy: In this rustic comedy, innocent rube Larry goes head-to-head with foreman Ollie over the boss's daughter, turning the sawmill into saw dust! Tim-ber!

Hop To It, Bellhop (1922) with Oliver Hardy, Bobby Ray: At the Hotel Kilkmore, "Babe" Hardy and sidekick Ray are bellhops running amok. Nobody sleeps tonight!

Kid Speed (1924) with Larry Semon, Oliver Hardy, Dorothy Dwan: The dust flies in this thrill comedy as "Dangerous” Dan McGraw (Hardy) competes with Larry "The Speed Kid" Semon for the favors of the lovely Dorothy. Speeding beds, bare behinds, and boxing – NASCAR was never like this!

Yes, Yes, Nanette (1926) with James Finlayson, Oliver Hardy: Stan's comedic timing comes though as he directs this domestic comedy, were future Laurel and Hardy nemesis James Finlayson is brought home to meet his girlfriends parents. Jimmie's toupee flies when Hardy shows up as the rival suitor!

Enough To Do (1926) with Clyde Cook, Oliver Hardy: When ranch hand Hardy wants more than "just beans" for supper, Clyde Cook serves up sunflowers and live skunk, and still have time to woo the boss's daughter. Directed by Stan Laurel. Come and get it!"
