Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel were a comedic duo popular in the early 20th century. In the film "When Comedy Was King" (1960), they play themselves as they reminisce about their career and perform some of their most memorable skits.
Oliver Hardy was a large, lovable man with a distinctive double chin and a penchant for exasperated expressions. He was known for his impeccable timing and physical comedy, often playing the "straight man" to Laurel's zany antics.
Stan Laurel was a skinny, rubber-faced clown who specialized in slapstick humor and sight gags. He was a master of improvisation and could make audiences laugh with just a simple gesture or expression.
