BOSTON HERALD"All the worlds admirers of Laurel & Hardy will now forever be indebted to Scott MacGillivray for providing so much new information about two of the worlds most beloved figures." STEVE ALLEN"Displays a knowledge and affection for its subject that one would be hard pressed to find in most academic texts." CLASSIC IMAGES"To write a book about screen performers as well covered as these two and still present a wealth of heretofore unpublished information is quite an accomplishment." FILM QUARTERLY"MacGillivray takes great pains to provide the context necessary to reassess these films after so many years of kneejerk dismissal and neglect...
