The Laurel & Hardy Collection, Vol. 1: Utopia/ Vol. 2: Flying Deuces

The endearing and enduring antics of one of the cinema's greatest comedy teams are just as delightful today as they were more than half a century ago. Arthur Stanley Jefferson and Oliver Norvell Hardy were seasoned veterans by the time they made their first joint appearance in the 1921 silent short, "The Lucky Day." Both had been working separately as all-purpose comics at the Hal Roach Studios, but not until they were teamed up did the magic happen. Who can forget Ollie, the bossy and blustery fellow who can barely tolerate his naïve and childlike pal, Stan? This two-disc set, made up some of their greatest shorts and feature -length films, spans more than twenty-five years of cinema comedy.
