IMDb profile |
The Lucky Dog (1921) was the first film featuring the famous comedy duo of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, later known as Laurel and Hardy. Though they appear together, they aren't the comedic team that they would later become. Oliver plays, as he did in many of his early films, a villain (a bank robber) and Stan plays the hapless hero. The team wouldn't appear together again for several years.
[edit] Trivia
- The film was made in 1919 but sat on the shelf until 1921.
- Some prints are missing the second half, ending where Stan has Ollie trapped in a fence.
