Pat & Patachon

German postcard by Ross Verlag, no. 1052/1, 1927-1928. Pat and Patachon in Raske Riviera Rejsende/ At the Mediterranian (Lau Lauritzen, Palladium 1924).

 

The Danish double-act Fy og Bi (Fyrtårnet og Bivognen aka Pat & Patachon) was the most famous comedy couple of the European silent cinema. Long Carl Schenstrom (1881-1942) and short Harald Madsen (1890-1949) became very popular in the 1920s with their short slapstick films.
