Description
Deutsch: Das Komikerduo Stan Laurel und Oliver Hardy stürzte von einer witzigen Eskapade in die nächste und unterhielt unzählige Kinobesucher mit ihren unglücklichen und liebenswerten Streichen. Laurel und Hardy hatten jeweils als Einzelkünstler einen gewissen Erfolg, doch erst die Zusammenarbeit mit dem legendären Filmproduzenten Hal Roach verhalf ihnen zu einer steilen Karriere auf dem Bildschirm. Zwischen 1927 und 1932 drehte das Duo mehr als sechzig Kurzfilme für Roach und meisterte erfolgreich den Übergang vom Stummfilm zum Tonfilm. Ihr Spielfilmdebüt gaben sie 1931 mit Pardon Us, und ein Jahr später spielten sie die Hauptrolle in The Music Box - dem ersten Film, der mit dem Academy Award für Kurzfilm (Komödie) ausgezeichnet wurde. Laurel und Hardy hielten sich nicht an die typische Komödienformel „Polizei und Prügelknabe“, sondern fungierten als gleichberechtigte Partner, die zwischen Konformität und Anarchie schwankten und dabei große komödiantische Wirkung erzielten.
English: Careening from one hilarious escapade to the next, the comic team of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy entertained countless movie audiences with their hapless and endearing antics. Laurel and Hardy each achieved some measure of success as individual performers, but it was their on-screen pairing by legendary film producer Hal Roach that transformed their careers. Between 1927 and 1932 the duo made more than sixty comedy shorts for Roach, successfully navigating the changeover from silent films to talking pictures. They marked their feature-film debut in 1931 with Pardon Us and a year later starred in The Music Box—the first film to win the Academy Award for Short Subject (Comedy). Rather than adhering to the typical straight man/fall guy comedic formula, Laurel and Hardy functioned as equally bumbling partners who teetered between conformity and anarchy to great comic effect.
