UPC: 6-17311-68839-3Very few original negatives of the silent films of Laurel and Hardy survive, and the available elements scattered throughout the world are always mediocre or unwatchable. It took three years to gather all the surviving prints of these shorts, compare them shot by shot and give them the best digital restoration possible. Today, these invisible films look as young as they did 95 years ago. A world premiere for all the Laurel and Hardy fans.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy first appeared on film together in 1921, after an initial period in their careers spent apart. The two would formally team up in 1927 and found success by following a simple comic formula that displayed the hilariously ambitious and anarchic qualities of their joint personality. Laurel & Hardy: Year One, The Newly Restored 1927 Silents, as proudly presented by Flicker Alley and Blackhawk Films®, offers fans new and old the rare opportunity to observe the evolving partnership of the comedy team that would reach enormous popularity. Featuring all new restorations sourced from best available materials contributed by archives and collectors around the world restored by Blackhawk Films® and Lobster Films in Paris, this comprehensive deluxe Blu-ray 2-Disc collection features thirteen extant films produced in 1927 and two additional films from before they were officially a team. It includes new scores from some of the best silent film composers working today: Neil Brand, Antonio Coppola, Eric le Guen, and Donald Sosin.

The films included are Lucky Dog (1921), 45 Minutes from Hollywood (1926), Duck Soup (1927), Slipping Wives (1927), Love ‘em and Weep (1927), Why Girls Love Sailors (1927), With Love and Hisses (1927), Sailors, Beware! (1927), Do Detectives Think? (1927), Flying Elephants (1928), Sugar Daddies (1927), The Second 100 Years (1927), Call of the Cuckoo (1927), Putting Pants on Phillip (1927), and The Battle of the Century (1927). It is curated by film historians and Laurel and Hardy specialists; Randy Skretvedt, Richard W. Bann, Serge Bromberg, Eric Lange, and Ulrich Ruedel.

Arthur Stanley Jefferson for a time understudied Chaplin in England and the US. Meanwhile Oliver Norvell Hardy was a talented actor in comedies and melodramas, yet neither had reached the status of movie star. It became clear upon their teaming up that their contradictory physiques and personalities complimented each other perfectly. The team would go on to do many films together reaching wide acclaim, and eventually becoming nearly unanimously considered by film critics, scholars, and movie fans alike, the funniest comedy duo in film history.

It is out now if you need to fill a gap in your Sandler collection

Sandler kinda lost his touch over the years but this earlier stuff like this and Waterboy have just the right amount of chaotic goofiness to make them worth re-watching.
I might just get this one.

Never expected the Odd Couple on Blu-ray. Labels took their sweet time putting out all this classic TV on BD, probably years too late.

lwhy?

I always felt that Little Nicky was where Sandler jumped the shark. I really disliked it. The only comedy of his that I like post Big Daddy was 50 first dates. I loved all his pre Little Nicky movies (Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, and Big Daddy). I can recite Billy Madison almost word for word.
