The Silent Laurel and Hardy Films, 12 March 2002
Author: The Black Englishman from London, England

If you watch too many silent Laurel and Hardy films like 'Sailor's Beware', you could easily go off them. Like everyone, we all need development to nurture our art. Laurel and Hardy took seven years at least with the development fund being sourced by Hal Roach. Does that mean that there are plenty more genius's out there who sink into oblivion because there isn't a Hal Roach to develop them?
