Comedy Double Bill: Fra Diavolo

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Starring Laurel and Hardy
Stan and Ollie as would-be bandits provide some of the screen's great comic moments in this version of a classic comic opera. Although some of the best-known musical numbers are retained, the accent is on the comedy in this, the most unusual of the duo's films.
(First showing on British television) (Black and white). Films: page 17
