Laurel And Hardy - Babes in Toyland
Evil old Silas Barnaby threatens to evict Widow Peep, who lives in a shoe, unless she lets him marry her daughter Bo-Beep, who is in love with the dashing young Tom-Tom. Desperate for money to pay off her mortgage, Widow Peep asks her boarders Stan and Ollie for help. They try to get money from their employer, but are fired instead. Since there's no way out, Ollie leads Bo-Peep to the altar. As soon as the marriage vows are pronounced, Ollie gets the deed to the shoe and rips it up. Beneath the bride's veil, however, is not a blushing virgin but...Stan! Silas seeks revenge by banishing Tom-Tom to Bogeyland, but with the help of Stan, Ollie and a mouse, Tom-Tom and Bo-Peep are saved and the monsters of Bogeyland chased out of Toyland.
Laurel and Hardy - Swiss Miss (1938)
Language: Persian
Mousetrap salesmen Stan and Ollie visit Switzerland, believing the country's large cheese output will attract a corresponding number of mice. After being persuaded to sell their entire business for worthless currency, they are forced to work in order to pay off their bill at a hotel. Among the guests is a composer seeking isolation from his opera-star wife, whom he believes will distract him; she arrives at the hotel, takes a job as chambermaid and soon captures the heart of Oliver Hardy...
SWISS MISS is often rumoured to have been made in colour but was never released in that form; this new computer-colour edition provides some idea of how it might have looked. The colour process adds greatly to the film's picturesque location and costumes.

Laurel And Hardy - The Flying Deuces (1939)
Stan and Ollie are holidaying in Paris. Ollie intends to remain in France to marry Georgette (Jean Parker), the innkeeper's daughter, but she refuses his proposal. Ollie decides instead to jump into the Seine, along with Stan, but François (Reginald Gardiner), a Foreign Legion officer who is actually Georgette's husband, offers an alternative. On his recommendation, they join the Legion but discover they cannot leave merely when Ollie has managed to "forget". Stan and Ollie are arrested and sentenced to death but make their escape when hiding in an aircraft. The flight ends in disaster and only Stan survives - but an earlier musing on reincarnation produces a bizarre postscript.
In between films for their usual producer, Hal Roach, Laurel and Hardy made THE FLYING DEUCES for another independent film maker, Boris Morros. One of the film's highlights is a song-and-dance routine to SHINE ON HARVEST MOON, which was eventually released as a 45 rpm single.
