- Summary:
- Hal Roach: the lot of fun: From the late 1920's through the Depression, Laurel and Hardy were the jewel in the crown of the Hal Roach Studio. These seven films present excerpts and complete films of their great silent short comedies and also includes the Our Gang comedy team in "Dogs of war."
- Chaplin and the music hall tradition: The most celebrated figure of slapstick, Charles Chaplin has risen to become one of popular culture's most recognizable icons. This volume salutes Chaplin with a selection of comedies which explore the music hall roots of the British-born American master.
