Official films The following is a list of Laurel and Hardy's official filmography as established in
Laurel and Hardy: The Magic Behind the Movies by
Randy Skretvedt and
Laurel and Hardy by
John McCabe,
Al Kilgore, and Richard W. Bann. Each book lists 105 films and Skredvedt's adds a 106th in its
appendix, ''
Now I'll Tell One'', a previously
lost film that was partly rediscovered. Except where noted, all of these films were photographed in
black and white, produced by
Hal Roach, and released by
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Except where noted, all short films are two
reels in length. All films produced prior to 1928 are
silent and all films made after 1929 are
sound. Releases from 1928 are silent except as noted. 1929 releases are identified as silent, all-talkie, or sound films with music and sound effects only.
Foreign-language versions During the early days of sound American motion picture companies often made
foreign-language versions of their films. The following is a list of known foreign-language versions of Laurel and Hardy films.
Note: A lost German-language version of
The Hollywood Revue of 1929,
Wir Schalten um auf Hollywood (We Switch to Hollywood), was made and released in 1931. Apparently Laurel and Hardy do not appear in it.
