Bert Wheeler & Robert Woolsey began making films during the late 1920s. Initially, they supported other stars in musical comedies. But the bosses saw potential in these two clowns, and realized they should headline their own comedies. For most of the 30s, the duo’s unique brand of slapstick was very profitable for RKO. The formula had them dealing with hard-nosed busybodies like Edna May Oliver who tried to stop their shenanigans. The boys would inspire future comedians and gain new fans when their movies were released on home video.
