45 Minutes from Hollywood

45 Minutes From Hollywood is an American two-reel silent film released by Pathé Exchange. At the time, it was known as a Glenn Tryon vehicle, but today it is best remembered as the second instance of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy appearing in the same film together — although they do not share any scenes — at least half a decade after their first chance billing in The Lucky Dog . Since this film uses footage from the Theda Bara star vehicle Madame Mystery , it is also the last screen appearance of silent film vamp Bara. Stan appears in bed in his only scene. He wears a night... cap, nightgown, and a large comedy mustache. Jimmy Finlayson appears looking like this in several later Laurel and Hardy films. Oliver also features a similar mustache. Laurel's name does not appear in the credits for this film, but Hardy's name does.
