The Lost Films of Laurel & Hardy: The Complete Collection, Vol. 2
More rare silents on DVD capturing Laurel and Hardy at their physical  best. InEarly to Bed, the Boys are totally out of character, as Ollie inherits a fortune and Stanley becomes his butler; inDouble Whoopee, they're in perfect form, ripping the dress off teenager Jean Harlow (it's all harmless fun, of course); inSugar Daddies, an early teaming, they wind up in a historic Long Beach Fun House to get out of a jam; and inAngora Love, their last silent, a goat follows Stanley home with disastrous results. The volume features two more early Laurel solo efforts. InOranges and Lemons, for instance, he's still in search of a persona, borrowing a little from Chaplin in destroying an orange processing plant.--Bill Desowitz
