Summary:
In the Hal Roach Studio, classic slapstick was refined with more sophisticated and gradually-paced narratives. From the late 20's through the Depression, Laurel and Hardy were the jewel in the crown of the Hal Roach Studio. These seven films present excerpts and complete films of their great silent short comedies. Also included are the Our Gang comedy team (Dogs of war) and an early film of Will Rogers (Big moments from little pictures).
