thanks for the information i really was thinking that their first movie was in 1927. I also have seen a part of the movie, whole movie is with music and no speaking. these two actors were really wonderful and still they are.
is here also the first movie of them avaiable? the one from 1927 where these two wonderful actors was shown at tv for the first? i couldn't download that movie. just some parts of it. the movie is called 'wizard of oz'. i always watched their movies as a child. like it very much.
Actually Larry Semon's 1925 version of The Wizard of Oz only has Oliver Hardy in it, not Stan Laurel. Olly plays the Tin Woodsman. The first L&H film is The Lucky Dog, first released in 1921. At least it's the first film they were both in. The first movie where they were a team was Duck Soup (1927). The first film where they where a version of the costumes they would wear for most of their film career was Do Detectives Think? (1927).
The film has its ups and downs. But it contains the great scene where Stan and Ollie dance in front of the saloon, in what was probably intended as a parody of big movie musical numbers. There's more joy in this brief scene than in most directors' entire filmographies. It makes life worth living.
