Eureka - Masters of Cinema

The most celebrated comedy duo in cinema history, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy formed their decades-long partnership in the late 1920s in a series of silent shorts produced at the Hal Roach Studios. Having developed their on-screen chemistry in the likes of Do Detectives Think?, Putting Pants on Philip and The Battle of the Century throughout 1927, Laurel & Hardy forged on as a double act in the last years of the silent era and into the age of talking pictures.

This collection brings together the silent Laurel & Hardy shorts produced during 1928, as their partnership began to gather steam: Leave em Laughing sees Stan desperately seeking treatment for a toothache; Youre Darn Tootin follows the pair as they turn their hand to busking; in From Soup to Nuts, the boys are hired as waiters for an upper-class dinner party; and in Early to Bed, Ollie gets to enjoy the highlife for himself when he inherits a fortune and buys an opulent mansion… but Stan soon finds ways to lower its market value. This collection also features the first Hal Roach film to officially bill Laurel & Hardy as a duo: Should Married Men Go Home?, in which a relaxing trip to the golf course quickly spirals into chaos.

The Masters of Cinema series is honoured to present some of the finest (and funniest) films Laurel & Hardy ever made newly restored in 2K resolution from the finest available materials in a special two-disc Blu-ray edition for the first time in the UK.
