I think one of the greatest Laurel and Hardy masterpieces is hidden away in their often unnoticed and obscure short film... "TWICE TWO"
Ingenious and hilarious!
And not given the historical credit it deserves...
since it's one the earliest historical films depicting MEN IN DRAG!
Absolutely brilliant...if you can find it!

Just watched a marathon of L&H movies on TCM. Brings back so many happy memories of watching those movies with my father. Watching that genius pair together, I see so many similarities with Stan and Ollie, compared to Gilligan and Skipper, or other comedy duo's. Stan and Ollie are THE BEST comedy duo the world has ever seen.

I was born in Cleveland, Ohio. Laurel and Hardy were on television all the time back in the 50's. I have been a fan all my life. I'm glad to see this website, and their timeless comedy remembered.

I absolutely adore Stan and Ollie. They brought colour into a black and white world. I was just wondering if any movies about them are in the pipeline anywhere? I'm sure it would be a box office smash.

Just Heard 'The Rogue Song' Soundtrack - It Brought Back Memories Of Watching "Bill Kennedy At The Movies", I'm Pretty Sure He Showed This 'Lost Film'. Just Have To Check With His Old Station...

I just watched Pardon Us from yesterday's marathon and loved it. I saw some films I have never seen.

My maternal grandmother, Agnes O'Malley Marx, was a press agent for Hal Roach Studios back in the late 20's, early 30's. I have a studio photograph of Laurel & Hardy in pilgrim attire that they both autographed to my grandmother! I also have a photo of "Our Gang" WITH my grandmother! Such precious memories of a golden time.

After watching Oliver's scenes in "The Fighting Kentuckian",a film made when his health was clearly in decline, I wondered if he was able to ride a horse and if he had ridden regurlarly in real life,since he appears to have some riding skills in the film in shots where a stunt-double couldn't be present. Does anyone know ((there's nothing in any biographical works that I've read).

Come on RHI/Hallmark or whoever it is that is holding up the release of DVD/BluRay editions of their Hal Roach movies! I'm tired of waiting for releases like Kino has done for Keaton or the Universal UK 21 disc box set. What gives?!?!? Even in this bad economy I would buy a set, but I WILL NOT WASTE my money on crap releases which is what we currently have in the USA. I'm writing this while watching the January 2011 TCM marathon. Surely they would make a lot of money issuing these releases so why haven't they done it? Are they really making more money by not releasing them? Doesn't make sense to me. I would think Kino would jump all over this if give! n the legal releases to do so (though I don't know if or how they would handle royalties). Tired of waiting for those DVDs...

Hello,
I do hope you don't mind my posting on here ? I have a pair of Laurel and Hardy heads..... well pots really, made by Flesh Pots of Stoke on Trent in the 1960's I believe. I have been unable to find any similar ones for sale and have listed them on Ebay UK (see link below) as I am moving soon. I was not sure what information a collector would want but think I have covered most details. I would be very grateful though if you have any further suggestions or advice. Many thanks for taking the time to read this.
Best wishes, Tess

To Julie from Columbus, Ohio...
who loved watching Laurel and Hardy's "Babes in Toyland" every year on TV during Thanksgiving and Christmas... as I did, too-
It is also titled "March of the Wooden Soldiers"
Look for it under that more popular name!

I know there is the extensive boxed collection of L&H DVDs available in Europe, but does one exist formatted for the USA? In Blu Ray format?
