Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were a popular comedy duo during early classic Hollywood. Between 1927 and 1955, they performed their unique brand of slapstick, wearing their iconic bowler hats, to the silly tune of “Dance of the Cuckoos,” with Laurel the childlike friend of pompous Hardy. They appeared as a team in 107 films, starring in 32 short silent films, 40 short sound films, and 23 full-length feature films still popular around the world today.
