Unquestionably one of the most-famous and longest-running comedy teams in movie history, Laurel and Hardy achieved great success after they teamed up in 1926. What is less known is that before they were partnered, both Stanley Laurel and Oliver Babe Hardy were both experienced movie comics.

Join host Rob Stone, co-author of Laurel or Hardy: The Solo Films of Stan Laurel and Oliver "Babe" Hardy for a festival of films made by Stan and Ollie before they teamed up.
