Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in 1928 silent comedy short “Two Tars”. Oliver Hardy was just so cute when flirting with the girls. But you can almost always find a homoerotic still in every L&H film.

On Oliver Hardy’s birthday I watched a 35mm short of his and Stan’s in the cinema: Two Tars, 1928. Needless to say, they were charming as ever.
