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.

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.

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.

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.
