Description
As individual vaudeville and film actors, they were adequate; but as on-screen partners, they achieved comic genius. From silent films to shorts to full-length feature films, these two clowns learned how to play off each other to repeatedly invent yet “another nice mess.” Using film clips, biographical anecdotes, and class discussion, this presentation will explore the unique cinematic chemistry of these lovable “overgrown playmates” and what makes their films such a popular and critical success.
