Stagecoach revolutionized the western, elevating it from B movie to the A-list and establishing the genre as we know it today with its quintessential tale of a group of strangers thrown together into extraordinary circumstances.

Telephone Operator -- A telephone operator covering for a friend's 'fling' finds herself in the middle of a major disaster when the city is hit by a big flood and her switchboard is the center of communications.

Adaptation of an operetta, this film is also known as Fra Diavolo and Bogus Bandits. Dennis King plays the role of the famous singing bandit Fra Diavolo. Laurel and Hardy classic with the two comedians playing wannabe bandit's assistants.

In this twist on SOULS AT SEA (with a nod to Chaplin's MODERN TIMES), Ollie goes berserk at the horn factory. When the doctor recommends an ocean voyage as an antidote to calm his nerves, the fellows rent a ship that slips her moorings and drifts miles from shore ... with an escaped murderer on board. This farewell Laurel & Hardy film at the Hal Roach Studios was nostalgic, almost on par with A CHUMP AT OXFORD. Critics loved the lively, old-fashioned slapstick. Thereafter, Roach allowed his deal with Laurel & Hardy to lapse, and while both the partnership and studio flirted with the idea of reuniting to produce more movies, and eventually TV programs, strokes suffered by the two comedy giants in the mid-1950s finally made any such plans impossible. Directed by Mr. Roach's prot g , Gordon Douglas. With James Finlayson and Rychard Cramer. Plus former Mack Sennett silent star Ben Turpin, and Harry Bernard, close friend of Charley Chase; all three of whom died shortly after the picture was issued to movie theaters.
