Hallmark Entertainment, now owned by Robert Halmi's RHI Entertinament, owns the rights to the Laurel & Hardy films (as well as the Hal Roach library) in the United States. In March 2012 the company was renamed Sonar entertainment.
However, in the UK, Universal Studios has the rights and has released virtually ALL the Roach Studios L&H films on DVD and in a complete boxed set of 21 DVD's.
Why Sonar Entertainment continues to sit on these gems is a mystery....

Why did George Stevens become Laurel and Hardy's favored cameraman?
When Stan Laurel first began making movies, most films were shot in orthochromatic film stock, which didn't register the color blue, the color of Laurel's eyes. Cameraman George Stevens got a hold of a supply of panchromatic film, which was sensitive to more colors, including blue. Stevens, who worked for producer Hal Roach, became Laurel and Hardy's cameraman of choice.
