I have loved The Marx Brothers all my life...they were big when I was a teenager in the early 70s, and am now just discovering L&H...what fantastic talent. Dick Van Dyke does a very good Stan Laurel.

I'm so happy, for you, that you've now discovered "the boys"; which is what the cognoscente/the original and I suppose later members of THE SONS OF THE DESERT club call them. The club was founded, in 1965 ) as an all male club, but women were allowed to come to see the movie, after the monthly meeting ( which was often opened by the last Mrs. Laurel ), after having to sit in the "GREEN ROOM" first. Even the likes of Margaret Hamilton ( she was a famous character actress and is most widely known for playing the wicked witch in THE WIZARD OF OZ )and Patsy Kelly too.

Should you care to read the best books about L&H, get the ones written by John McCabe; he was an original member of TSOTD and THE recognized authority on the team, as well as Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy, separately.He was a founding member, along with Orson Bean ( Andrew Breiutbart's f-i-l ) and some others.
