Summary
In this first of two episodes looking at Laurel and Hardy's classic 1929 talkie, Men O' War, Patrick chats with returning guest and Hal Roach Studios expert, Richard W. Bann about his forthcoming book 'Laurel & Hardy as Men O' War: Just Playing Together.' In addition to discussing the book's genesis and content, Richard reads an extract from the manuscript, which perfectly sets the scene and provides great context for what was happening in and around Hollywood in 1929.
