There are two public domain features including 1939’s “The Flying Deuces,” the 1943 WWII propaganda film “The Tree in the Test Tube,” the second public domain feature is 1951’s “Utopia,” the team’s last film together where both men show their considerable age and don’t quite hit their highs as they used to. It’s not the best collection but it’s a fascinating release that will help fans of the comedy team dissect a lot of the work that both men did outside of their team as well as what worked, and what just didn’t.Īmong the two disc set are Laurel and Hardy Shorts and Features including the silent “The Lucky Dog” from 1921, the pair’s first on-screen appearance together, the Stan Laurel directed “Yes, Yes, Nanette” from 1925, and “The Stolen Jools” from 1931.
