The comic couple Hollywood's most famous produces together 89 movie, of which 30 films and 43 sound films. Their genuine comedy, based on simple gag obtained from paradoxical situations of everyday life, makes them famous and appreciated worldwide. In Italy is a young actor, Alberto Sordi, that as the voice of Oliver. In spite of the thirties and forties of the twentieth century see to the forefront of comedy actors like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy are able to carve out a prominent role both in films and then in those so-called muti with sound. Ingenious use of MIME, the couple seeks audience engagement using a cinematic gimmick, the "look" that is to look into the room to engage the Viewer, making sure they're staying in the actor's situation: unforgettable expressions perplexed by Ollie when Laurel she plays one of his. The pair continued to work together until the early 1950s when serious heart problems stop Oliver, which disappears on 7 August 1957 following a stroke. Today, at a distance of sixty, Laurel and Hardy's films continue to be transmitted and loved around the world.
