Laurel and Hardy: Hustling for Health / One Too Many / The Lucky Dog
A$14.99
This unique collector’s edition showcases two early silent films from Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy before they appeared together on screen for the first time in The Lucky Dog.
Hustling for Health:
Our down to heel hero Stan is befriended by a stranger at a train depot and brought back to the family home where his wife is having a suffragette meeting. None too pleased they cause mayhem dragging the neighbours into the argument as Stan throws rubbish into their award winning garden. Stan falls foul of them again when he steals their food to give to his new friends and is finally left outside in the yard mooning over the neighbours’ daughter in the downpour.
One Too Many:
This zippy and fun short from 1916 - the time when Charlie Chaplin and Fatty Arbuckle were the big names in comedy - features the young Oliver Hardy as a ne’er-do-well who has to quickly impress his wealthy uncle by producing a wife and baby for his visit. Of course this does not go smoothly and soon there are rather more wives and babies than he can cope with, plus the mandatory chases and misunderstandings that are the hallmark of early movie slapstick.
The Lucky Dog:
The Lucky Dog is the first film to include both Laurel & Hardy although they play independently of each other and not as the famous duo they would later become. Stan plays the hapless hero, who after being thrown out onto the street for not paying his rent, is befriended by a stray dog. Oliver plays a crock who tries to rob him and his new paramour.
