These shorts are about 20 mins long with sound unlike alot of other Laurel and Hardy titles that were silent from the 20's. These ones are sure to bring you out in a fit! Laurel and Hardy's shorts, first made by Hal Roach and released through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, were among the most successful around. Most of the shorts ran a couple of reels (10 minutes per reel), although several ran three reels long, and one, Beau Hunks, was four reels long. In 1929, they appeared for the first time in a feature as one of the acts in The Hollywood Revue of 1929 and the following year they appeared as the comic relief in a lavish all-Technicolor musical feature entitled: The Rogue Song. This film marked their first appearance in color. Considered a "lost film", only a few fragments of this production have survived, along with the complete and utter sound track. In 1931, Laurel and Hardy's first starring feature was released, Pardon Us. Following its success, the duo made fewer shorts in order to concentrate on longer films.
