[[File:L&H Big Business 1929.jpg|thumb]]

As gifted in their repartee as they were in their physical antics, [[Laurel and Hardy|Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy]] were the perfect team for the transition from silent film comedy to sound. Their legendary career spanned from 1921 to 1951 and included more than 100 films.

The two-reeler '''''Big Business''''' finds the duo attempting to sell Christmas trees in sunny California. Their run-in with an unsatisfied customer (played by [[James Finlayson]]) lays the groundwork for a slapstick melee eventually involving a dismantled car, a wrecked house and an exploding cigar. The film was produced by the team's long-time collaborator, [[Hal Roach]], the king of no-holds-barred comedy.

''Big Business'' was added to the [[National Film Registry]] in 1992.
