IMDb profile

The Lucky Dog (1917) is 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 are not 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 would not appear together again for several years.
