An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Moonlight and Noses, the 1925 Stan Laurel & Richard Jones slapstick silent crime comedy short ("A bird of the night."; produced by Hal Roach; about cat burglars who are hired by a doctor to steal a body from a graveyard) starring Clyde Cook, Noah Young, James Finlayson, Fay Wray (18 years old in one of her early credited roles, one of a number of movies she made while working for Hal Roach at the very start of her career), and William Gillespie. Note that it might sound like this movie was loosely based on the English grave robbers Burke and Hare (whose story was covered in "Body Snatchers" and several other movies), but actually in this movie the doctor wants to gets the body back because he was accused of misdiagnosing the patient and causing his death, and by getting the body back he could prove his innocence. Note that a similar plot was used in the 1928 comedy Habeas Corpus, starring Laurel and Hardy, and given that this movie was co-directed by Stan Laurel, one certainly wonders if he didn't help influence the plot of his 1928 movie!
