Stan and Ollie: The Roots Of Comedy

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy both passed away in the 1950s, yet their films still have the power to reduce audiences old and new to helpless laughter. Laurel inspired Hardy to forge their famous double act, in which Laurel played the eternal comic fool, Hardy his temperamental master.

Stan Laurel si Oliver Hardy au murit amandoi in anii 1950, insa filmele lor inca au puterea de a-i face pe spectatori, atat cei vechi, cat si cei noi, sa rada neputincios. Laurel l-a inspirat pe Hardy sa creeze faimosul lor numar dublu, in care Laurel a jucat rolul eternului prost comic, iar Hardy, stapanul sau temperamental.
