TCM Archives - The Laurel and Hardy Collection (The Devil's Brother / Bonnie Scotland)
»rank: 30302
0ur opinion: :They were one of the movies' most successful and best-loved comic duos probably because their irresistible slapstick antics were underscored by an indomitable optimism. Beginning with shorts made at the Hal Roach Studios Stan Laurel and 0liver Hardy struck a universal chord by sharing a contentious yet benign friendship that always survived whatever indignities their mutual bumbling brought upon them. This TCM Archives two-disc collection focuses on the team at their zenith during the sound era and ...

March of the Wooden Soldiers
»rank: 10103
0ur opinion: :The most lavish feature built around Laurel and Hardy, 1934's March of the Wooden Soldiers is also the most bizarre. 0pening unpromisingly with one of several mawkish numbers derived from Victor Herbert's musical Babes in Toyland, the antics of toyshop laborers Stannie Dum and 0llie Dee are worked into a scenario midway between Lewis Carroll and the Brothers Grimm. Nursery-rhyme characters come and go in a surreal fantasy, with the evil Mr. Barnaby threatening to evict Widow Peep ...
