The Flying Deuces

Stan (Laurel) and Oliver (Hardy) have just left a note for the (enraged) commandant (Charles Middleton) that they?re leaving the French Foreign Legion, since Oliver has now succeeded in forgetting his French girlfriend, pausing for a 1908 standard by Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth, in The Flying Deuces, 1939.

Opening in fake Paris, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, in a one-off independently produced picture, away from their Hal Roach studio home, start with word-play then introduce charming Parisienne Georgette (Jean Parker), Oliver?s love interest, in The Flying Deuces, 1939.

In Paris, Oliver has been spurned by his French girlfriend, and presumes Stan will join him in a suicide dive, unaware of a giant shark cruising the Seine, in the independent Laurel & Hardy feature The Flying Deuces, 1939.

Theatrical trailer for the Laurel & Hardy “comeback” (which it wasn’t, since it had been just over a year since their last feature), following a dispute with Hal Roach, so made by independent producer Boris Morros, from 1939, released by RKO, The Flying Deuces.
