Description:

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy weren't always a team. They started separately in silent films (Hardy in 1913, Laurel in 1917) and didn't become the hapless duo we know today until 1927. Prior to that, however, they frequently crossed paths, with Laurel occasionally directing one of Hardy's solo efforts. This collection begins with a very early Hardy short called "The Paperhanger's Helper" (1915), a comedy that needs no description beyond the title itself. The first coincidental sharing of the screen by both Laurel and Hardy in "Lucky Dog" (1917), a gem long believed lost, depicts leading comedian Laurel as a stray dog's friend and Hardy in a supporting role as a villainous mugger holding Stan up with a pistol. In "The Sawmill" (1921), Hardy plays an evil foreman gradually dismantling the workplace as he battles it out with heroic employee Larry Semon. "Hop to It, Bellhop" (1922) features Hardy as a riotous hotel luggage smasher, and in "Kid Speed" (1924), Hardy competes with Larry Semon for a damsel's attentions. Stan Laurel directs his future partner in both "Yes, Yes, Nanette" (1926) and "Enough To Do" (1926).

GREAT GUNS: Laurel and Hardy get hired to look after a millionaire's pampered son, and when he gets drafted for the war effort, they decide to enlist themselves. JITTERBUGS: In one of the best of the later Laurel and Hardy movies, Ollie and Stan play con men selling "gasoline pills" during the oil-shortage days of WWII. However, when they meet a small-town girl whose mother has been bilked of her savings by real-estate swindlers, they don disguises (Hardy as Southern colonel Wattison Bixby and Laurel in drag as Aunt Emily) to bust up the gangster ring.

This third collection of early silent films from the inimitable comic duo Laurel and Hardy spans nearly two decades worth of filmmaking. Beginning with 1924's "Short Kilts," we find the odd coupling having dinner with some friends. However, the events soon descend into slapstick farce when a game of musical chairs spiral out of control. "Smithy," also from 1924, sees Stan taking up a post-army career as a builder, with calamitous results! Two years later, the boys return for "Along Came Auntie," with a guest spot from Vivien Oakland. 1931's "The Stolen Jools" stars Laurel and Hardy as a pair of detectives, with an incredible array of Hollywood stars featuring in supporting roles. "Home Movies" (1938) stars Stan as an early fan of home movies, while the set is rounded out by "The Tree In A Test Tube" (1943), which was a public service film designed to help the troops filing off to war.
