A critical analysis of the work of Laurel and Hardy,with biographical and production
information included when it pertains to film content.In order to present a comprehensive analysis,many critical disciplines,including an historical overview,textual analysis,the auteur theory,genre analysis,psychoanalytic theory,and theory of film technique and structure,have been used.The main purpose of this text is to provide a survey of the cinematic techniques and the thematics of the Laurel and Hardy films.Certain motifs are discussed at length,with minor conclusions provided where they appear to be applicable.This author demonstrates no definitive analytical conclusions,since this attitude,if at all possible,can certainly lead one into a "nice mess" indeed.That realm is left open to the choice of each individual reader and film viewer.
