De Broer van de Duivel
1933
Bold red backgrounds and playful caricatures define this 1933 Swedish poster for Laurel and Hardy, known locally as 'Helan och Halvan.' The artist Eric Rohman captures the duo's chaotic energy perfectly, with Oliver Hardy sporting a jolly, toothy grin and Stan Laurel looking slyly mischievous as they toast with champagne. Advertising their film 'The Devil's Brother' (Fra Diavolo), the piece showcases the bold, graphic style typical of 1930s cinema marketing. This was actually the duo's first feature film for MGM, and the poster's fun, Art Deco-inspired design perfectly sells the slapstick humor waiting in the theater.
