About the Item

Original US Title lobby card for the 1938 film Block-Heads. This is one of the most famous 1930s Laurel and Hardy films. Pieces on this title do not surface very often. This American Laurel and Hardy comedy was directed by John G. Blystone and produced by Hal Roach Studios for MGM, in Roach's final film for the studio. Stan has been ordered to stay behind and guard the World War I trench whilst the rest of the company, including Ollie, are ready to go 'over the top'. Twenty years pass and Stan is still in this post, until he is accidently found after firing at a French aviator. He is hailed a hero, and appears in the newspaper, which is how Ollie hears about his old pal. Ollie goes to the Soldiers' Home to visit Stan and feels sorry for him, so invites him back to his home for a nice cooked meal. Ollie's wife of just one year isn't pleased that he's bought home another stray, and leaves the two men to fed for themselves, where mayhem ensues.
