The starting programme of our Leo McCarey retrospective. McCarey was with Stan Laurel the co-creator of the concept of the Stan and Ollie comedies at Hal Roach Studios. It was good to see on screen the full-length The Second Hundred Years, and 35 mm screenings (good prints, too) of Big Business and Liberty, so familiar from home viewing. Comedy at its best, funniest, laughingest.
