Man With The Most Movies


Oliver Hardy is known to be the man with the most movies starred in the history. Along with him is Stan Laurel. Here are interesting facts about their most famous movies of all time.

The Music Box

Released in 1932, The Music Box was a comedy movie about the two workers ( starring Laurel and Hardy) trying to find ways to be able to move a piano to a place upstairs using large flight of steps. It won the first Academy Award for Live Action Short Film during the same year.

Helpmates

Helpmates is another film comedy by the duo. It only plays for 21 minutes and 5 seconds. The cast included Stan laurel, Oliver Hardy, Blanche Payson, Robert Callahan and Bobby Burns. It was the first black-and-white film to be processed with film colorization.

Sons of the Desert

One of Luarel and Hardy's greatest films, it was originally titled as Fraternally Yours. Last 2012, it was considered to be important to the history of the United States and therefore was preserved in the National Film Registry. The movie was able to be recognized in a number of American Film Institute recognition and also nominations.

Way Out West

In this 1937 film, there were a lot of movie quotes that were remembered, which were:
"A lot of weather we've been having lately"

"Tell me, tell me about my dear dear daddy, is it true that he's dead?"
"Well we hope he is, they buried him."
"Oh it can't be, what did he die of?"
"I think he died of a Tuesday, or was it Wednesday..."
(insert audience laugh here)

"That's right, any bird can build a nest, but it isn't everyone who can lay an egg!"

 "Now that you've got the deed, I bet you'll make a swell gold digger."

Here are examples of some clips from their short films.
