Thin, English-born Stan Laurel, and heavy, American-born Oliver Hardy, were the single most popular comedic duo of the early to mid-Classical Hollywood era of American cinema. The pair became well known in the late 20’s, and starred together in 40 short sound films, 32 short silent films, 23 full length feature films, and made guest or cameo appearances in 11 others, for a total of 106 films.
I believe this to be extremely relevant to my research for my own film. Capturing the comedy through a double act in a silent film...
Here the pair use minimal dialogue in a really simple scene that portrays the humour and down right stupidity of their friendship!
