The film is set during the Prohibition era, and it follows Laurel and Hardy as they embark on a misadventure involving home brewing and prison life. The story begins with Stan and Ollie planning to brew 15 gallons of beer to drink and sell. However, their brewing activities land them in prison for concocting and selling their homebrew.

In prison, Stan's loose tooth becomes a source of trouble with the governor. They share a cell with other inmates, including the notorious "The Tiger." Stan's inadvertent razzberry at the end of each sentence earns him respect from The Tiger, and they become friends. The film features prison school scenes with James Finlayson as the teacher, leading to a comical ink-soaked mishap that lands them in solitary.

During a prison riot, Laurel and Hardy escape, becoming wanted fugitives. They find refuge on a cotton plantation, hiding in blackface. However, their cover is blown when Stan falls into a pond. Eventually, they are discovered and sent back to prison.

A warden decides to address Stan's loose tooth by sending him to the prison dentist. In a humorous twist, Ollie accidentally gets his tooth pulled instead. The dentist then mistakenly pulls the wrong tooth from Stan.

Tricked into breaking their alleged hunger strike, they go to the mess hall expecting a feast but are served the usual drab fare. Laurel's protests lead to a planned prison riot, but Stan accidentally sets off a Tommy gun prematurely, disrupting the plan. The warden's daughter is trapped in a burning building, and Stan and Ollie attempt to rescue her with a ladder. Stan's unintentional use of the Tommy gun breaks up the riot, earning them a written pardon from the grateful warden. Their exit from prison is swift, with Stan amusingly misunderstanding the warden's final words.

Unaccustomed As We Are is the first sound comedy short film starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy released on May 4, 1929.

Oliver invites his friend Stanley over for a nice home-cooked meal, but Mrs. Hardy wants nothing to do with it and walks out. Mrs. Kennedy, Oliver's beautiful neighbor from across the hall, volunteers to help out.... Oh dear!

Clip from Laurel and Hardy's 1938 feature length comedy BLOCK-HEADS.

Block-Heads is a 1938 comedy film starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, produced by Hal Roach Studios for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film, a reworking of elements from the Laurel and Hardy shorts We Faw Down (1928) and Unaccustomed As We Are (1929), was Roach's final film for MGM, and is remembered as one of Laurel and Hardy's most successful films.

PLOT

The film opens in the trenches of World War I where Ollie, Stan and the rest of their army company are ready to go 'over the top', but Stan is ordered to stay behind to guard the trench. Stock scenes of fighting are then seen followed by the caption 'Armistice'. Twenty years pass, and Stan is still guarding the post, as shown by the huge pile of bean cans he has accumulated, and the path he has worn pacing back and forth on guard. He is found by accident (after firing on a plane he sees approaching) and is brought home, feted as a hero. Ollie, who has been married for a year to the formidable Mrs Hardy (Minna Gombell), sees him in a newspaper and visits him in the veterans' home. He finds Stan in a wheelchair, having apparently lost a leg, and invites him home. However, Stan is in fact just resting in another veteran's wheelchair and Ollie only finds out he still has both legs after pushing him around in the chair and then carrying him. Ollie, angrily: "Why didn't you tell me you had two legs?" Stan: "Well, you didn't ask me." They reach Ollie's automobile, which he says belongs to his wife and is 'practically new', but it is boxed in by a dump truck. Stan climbs into the cab to move it and inadvertently operates the dump mechanism, burying the car in sand and leaving only Ollie's head exposed. It is then completely wrecked when Ollie demonstrates the automatic garage door at his home and allows Stan to drive the car in to test it.
There is then a lengthy scene of the pair attempting to climb thirteen flights of stairs to Ollie's apartment because they think the elevator is out of order. They are resting near the top when a top hat-wearing man with a cane (James Finlayson) insults Ollie, leading him to challenge him to a fight outside. They return down the stairs, picking up spectators along the way. After settling the disagreement, the pair finally reach the top of the stairs, where they run into a brattish kid (Tommy Bond) with a football. Ollie kicks his ball down the stairwell, where it hits the face of a man speaking on a telephone at reception. The kid's burly father emerges and orders Ollie back down the stairs to fetch it. After a 'tit-for-tat' fight with the father, the ball is kicked down the stairwell again and hits the man in the face a second time. When they finally reach the apartment, Ollie's wife wants Stan to leave immediately, as she is disgusted with the bums he brings home. When food is demanded she walks out, leaving Ollie to prepare a meal for Stan, but the pair only succeed in blowing up the kitchen.
Across the hall, Ollie's attractive neighbor, Mrs Gilbert (Patricia Ellis), offers to help clear up the mess. She is then soaked by a bowl of punch (the only item left unscathed from the kitchen explosion) and the only dry clothing Ollie can find is a pair of his enormous pajamas. Mrs Hardy then returns, because her car is wrecked, and Ollie tries to conceal Mrs Gilbert by covering her with a cloth to make her resemble a chair. After Stan unwittingly sits on her, Ollie hides her inside a trunk.All this time, Mrs.Hardy has been quarreling with Ollie, and finally leaves. Big-game hunter Mr Gilbert (Billy Gilbert) then arrives and the wife reveals herself after he boasts about his extra-marital conquests. He then chases Stan and Ollie back down the stairs, blasting at them with a shotgun, missing the duo, but hitting everything else. A large number of philandering husbands jump out of windows with trousers off.

Laurel and Hardy performed the song and dance routine (Hardy singing and both dancing) to the song in their 1939 film Flying Deuces.

"Shine on, Harvest Moon" is a popular early-1900s song credited to the married vaudeville team Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth. It was one of a series of Moon-related Tin Pan Alley songs of the era.

Laurel and Hardy were a comedy double act during the early Classical Hollywood era of American cinema. The team was composed of thin Englishman Stan Laurel and heavyset American Oliver Hardy.

The Flying Deuces - Ollie has fallen in love with the innkeeper's daughter in Paris. The only problem - she's very much in love with her husband. To forget her he joins the Foreign Legion with Stan. Bad idea.

The Flying Deuces (1939)
Director: A. Edward Sutherland
Writers: Ralph Spence(original story), Charley Rogers(original story), Fred Schiller(original story)
Stars: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Jean Parker
Genre: Comedy, War
Country: USA
Language: English
Also Known As: Flying Aces
Release Date: 3 November 1939 (USA)
Duration: 68 min
Filming Location: General Service Studios - 1040 N. Las Palmas, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA

Storyline:
Oliver is heartbroken when he finds that Georgette, the inkeeper's daughter he's fallen in love with, is already married to dashing Foreign Legion officer Francois. To forget her, he joins the Legion, taking Stanley with him. Their bumbling eventually gets them charged with desertion and sentenced to a firing squad. They manage to escape in a stolen airplane, but crash after a wild ride.

Reviews:
"The only Laurel and Hardy movie I would unequivocally recommend.
That statement right above goes without saying that I haven't seen too many of Laurel and Hardy's films (I've also seen their Christmas nutcracker film, and one about making a movie or other, though the memory is now hazy for the most part on what I did or didn't see as a tot). But this is not just a classic from the duo, but one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen. It's refined slapstick, made up of facial gestures, anger, repetition, big life decisions like falling in love, suicide, joining the French foreign legion, and flying a plane without much control of a wheel. The director, Sutherland, also somehow crafts out the single funniest joke ever crafted around (as silly as it sounds) a mountain of laundry. It's not a very complex storyline, as Hardy falls for a girl, can't get her, feels down about it almost enough to jump into the river, but gets a word of advice right before it happens by a fellow traveler to join the foreign legion to forget about it. But they get in over their heads by joining, and want to quit, and soon become the biggest bumbling boobs to ever join up, leading to many chases, and that death-defying plane ride (or is it?)

It's the kind of film that unless getting head-on into Laurel and Hardy's distinctive and influential comedy timing will only really be of interest if passed on down as a child. It's a great comedy though for all ages- if the term 'family comedy' might be a little too pat a description, but one that does have a central appeal as smart physical comedy- as it doesn't pander to anyone, and even has a sincerity to it. I still remember most fondly the song and dance number Laurel and Hardy do in a moment of a jam (Shine on Harvest Moon, I think it was called), and the supporting character work is also a fine plus. And, quite frankly, one of those quintessential wacky end scenes that keeps me smiling, and laughing depending on who I'm talking with about it, where a certain horse with a mustache and hat appears saying "another fine mess you got me into." A pick-me-up comedy of manners and pratfalls, it'll always have a place in my collection not only for nostalgic reasons (it was one of the first videos I ever owned), but for its stamina so many years later."-Written by Quinoa1984

"Be Big" is a classic Laurel and Hardy short film. In the story, Laurel and Hardy are about to head to Atlantic City with their wives when Ollie receives a phone call from Cookie, a lodge buddy. Cookie informs Ollie about an enticing stag party in their honor that evening, leading Ollie to pretend to be sick to get out of the trip with their wives.

With the wives gone, Stan and Ollie dress in their lodge gear, and comedic scenes follow, including a struggle to remove one of Stan's boots from Ollie's foot. However, their escape plan takes an unexpected turn when the wives return, having missed their train.

With no way out, Stan and Ollie find themselves hiding in a Murphy bed in fear. When Stan asks, "What'll I do?" in desperation, Ollie replies with the classic line, "Be big!" The film captures the humor of Laurel and Hardy's comedic timing and the amusing situations they find themselves in.

A gruff sea captain, who absolutely detests the word "ghost," is having trouble manning his ship because of the rumor it's...well...haunted. He inveigles Stanley and Oliver into helping him shanghai a crew from the sailors at a dockside bar. The comic duo accomplish this by using one of the funniest devices ever put into a movie, and of course it all goes wrong. Once aboard, the captain warns them that whoever says the word "ghost" will get his head twisted from north to south. After much time at sea and many port stops later, one of the drunken sailors falls into a trough of whitewash, terrorizing Stanley and Oliver into blurting out "ghost" in front of the enraged captain, which brings about the story's Laurel and Hardy trademark "another fine mess" ending.
