El Gordo y el Flaco
"Hats Off" was an enormous success when first released, which made considerable headway in establishing the Laurel and Hardy team with the public. After being last publicly shown in Germany in 1930, "Hats Off" disappeared and is now considered a lost film. Laurel and Hardy historian Randy Skretvedt dubbed "Hats Off" the "Holy Grail of Laurel and Hardy movies."
