Film by film, "Laurel and Hardy" truly evokes the magic behind the movies -- gag sessions, practical jokes, special effects, technical problems, musical scores, sneak previews, retakes, publicity campaigns and foreign language versions. Their unorthodox working methods are explored in meticulous detail. The book provides much previously unknown and unpublished information about Laurel's contract disputes with Hal Roach and the team's creative conflicts with 20th Century-Fox, as well as the marital problems that often disrupted the comedians' private lives.
Rare photographs -- most never-before-published -- depict Laurel and Hardy filming on location, working with directors and co-stars, entertaining visitors to the set, clowning on the studio lot and relaxing with their wives; they are also shown in a variety of scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor. Original poster art and advertising, unseen for decades, further delineates the past. The book is appended by a Who's Who of supporting players who peopled the films of Laurel and Hardy, and the technical crew responsible for so much of the magic behind the movies.
