LEAGUE OF THEMSELVES - LAUREL & HARDY


STAN LAUREL & OLIVER HARDY

From Wikipedia:
Laurel and Hardy were one of the most popular and critically acclaimed comedy double acts of the early Classical Hollywood era of American cinema. Composed of thin Englishman Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and large American Oliver Hardy (1892–1957), they became well known during the late 1920s to the mid-1940s for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy and childlike friend of the pompous Hardy. They made over 100 films together, initially two-reelers (short films) before expanding into feature length films in the 1930s. Their films include "Sons of the Desert" (1933), the Academy Award-winning short film "The Music Box" (1932), "Babes in Toyland" (1934), and "Way Out West" (1937).

Hardy's catchphrase, "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into!", is still widely recognized.
