The comedian duo "Pat & Patachon" was in the day of silent movie the most famous couple and anticipated couples like Laurel & Hardy or Abbott & Costello. In Contrast to Laurel & Hardy, who appeared in suit and bowler, the outfit of Pat & Patachon reminded one to vagabonds, who run around in torn clothes and used an old rope as a belt.
Pat was the tall guy, Patachon the small one. Together they presented at the same time the Danish stronghold of the international movie in those days (together wit the legendary Asta Nielsen, who established the movie as art). The two celebrated huge successes in whole Europe and became famous in countless countries - in Germany and Austria as "Pat & Patachon", in Scandinavia as "Fy og Bi", in the Netherlands as "Watt en 1/2 Watt", in France as "Doublepatte et Patachon", in Great Britain as "Long & Short" and in Sweden as "Telegrafstopen och Tilhengern."
