They were one of the most successful comedy teams in film history (Stan was slim, Oliver rotund). Their partnership began 1927, survived the transition from silent films to sound, and resulted in more than 200 short and feature-length films. Among these are Pack Up Your Troubles 1932, Our Relations 1936, and A Chump at Oxford 1940. Laurel, a British-born former music-hall comedian, produced several of their feature films, notably Way Out West 1937.
