Film Forum is going all in on slapstick this summer. The New York repertory house is rolling out over 50 Laurel & Hardy films across two weeks, from July 10 to 23, marking a century since Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy first teamed up for producer Hal Roach.

This is the duo’s first major retrospective in decades, and it’s stacked with new 4K restorations. Think Sons of the Desert, Way Out West, The Music Box (the 1932 Oscar winner), Blotto, and Brats. Silent films get live piano accompaniment from Steve Sterner, because why not do it right.

Festival programmer Bruce Goldstein points out what makes Laurel & Hardy different. They’re still beloved worldwide, a century later. In Italy, they’re “Stanlio e Ollio.” In Germany, “Dick und Dorf.” The festival includes rare Spanish, French, Italian, and German versions of their films, shot phonetically before dubbing existed, so international audiences could follow along.

The lineup digs deep. There are programs of rarely-seen silent two-reelers, pre-team solo work from both comedians, and a rarities reel curated by restoration expert Jeff Joseph. You can even catch Stan & Ollie, the 2018 biopic with Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly.

For comedy fans and film historians, this is the deep dive. Laurel & Hardy endure because their timing is flawless and their chemistry is universal. Film Forum is giving them the showcase they deserve.
