help The Flying Deuces FAQ
Why do Laurel and Hardy join the French Foreign Legion in The Flying Deuces?
Ollie joins after being rejected by Georgette, the innkeeper's daughter he hopes to marry, and Stan follows him. They quickly discover that military discipline and dangerous missions are much less appealing than their romanticized idea of the Legion.
Is The Flying Deuces really a silent Laurel and Hardy movie?
No. The Flying Deuces is a sound comedy released in 1939, more than a decade after Laurel and Hardy began making films together.
What is the connection between The Flying Deuces and Beau Hunks?
Both stories send Laurel and Hardy into the French Foreign Legion after Ollie suffers romantic disappointment. Beau Hunks was released in 1931, while The Flying Deuces revisited and expanded that premise in 1939.
Why does Stan perform the bed-spring routine in The Flying Deuces?
While the pair are imprisoned, Stan treats the exposed bed springs like a harp and plays a comic rendition of "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise." The musical gag became one of the film's best-known standalone Laurel and Hardy sequences.
