Lahham and Qali became the most famous comedy duo in the Arab World, inspired by Charlie Chaplin and Laurel & Hardy. They were co-founders of Syrian TV in 1960 and worked side-by-side until illness left Qali paralyzed in 1976, pretty much like illness forced Oliver Hardy to leave Stan Laurel in the US. This photo was taken during the shooting of the movie "The Millionaire," starring the famous Lebanese singer Sabah, who contributed greatly to the success of the duo
