SYNOPSIS
Two of the greatest comedians in cinema history, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy had firmly cemented their legendary partnership by the late 1920s. As the era of silent film came to a close, the duo entered 1929 at the height of their creative powers—refining the timeless comedic chemistry that would carry them into the sound era.
This collection brings together their final silent shorts, showcasing the pair at their peak:
Liberty – Stan and Ollie play escaped convicts navigating chaos high above the city
Wrong Again – The duo mistakenly return a horse instead of a stolen painting
That’s My Wife – Ollie must choose between his friend and his marriage
Big Business – Door-to-door Christmas tree sales spiral into total destruction
Unaccustomed As We Are – A dinner invitation leads to domestic disaster
Double Whoopee – The boys take on jobs at an upscale hotel
Berth Marks – Train travel descends into classic Laurel & Hardy chaos
Bacon Grabbers – Two bumbling bailiffs attempt to repossess a radio
Angora Love – A persistent goat causes endless trouble for the duo
Representing the final chapter of their silent film era, these shorts capture Laurel & Hardy at their most inventive and influential—bridging the gap between silent comedy and the dawn of talking pictures.
The Masters of Cinema Series proudly presents this landmark collection, newly restored in 2K by Blackhawk Films, in a special two-disc Blu-ray edition for the first time in the UK.
