This is the only solo film appearance that Stan did in the early 1950's.

whcih eav era =]

[daffydoug]

Stan had a perfect rubber face! He was BORN to do what he did. This was a joy to watch, thanks a million for posting!

[allenbroadway]

Stan Laurel is funny no matter what era, what race or what class. Classic clown, like how Robert Zimmerman once said of "Bob Dylan", Stan Laurel has always existed, and Stanley Jefferson just happened to be the most equipped to play the role. . .simply the best. Almost as good as Jim Carrey, right?

[tomanyasses]

i remember those years everthing was new and clean

[kevkonk]

fantastic

[clayrvoyant666]

the guy on the car looks like Steve McQueen..isn't he??

[mrceebees14]

That is what I thought too.

I don't think that is him.

[PuttingPantsOnPhilip]

They were the ONLY people respected back in those days!

And even then, make sure that you weren't Jewish.

Yes, the 50s were great if you were a WASP.

I miss the simpler time. I don't miss the closed society.

[riddler182]

wow have fun at your next clan meeting

[ThePeacefulCat]

Oh how I wish I was alive and young in America in the 50's..:))

[tomanyasses]

it was great butt we didnt know it, until its taken away, all food or most was organic, there were open hills and we or most spoke english, we cared and hardely any gang crimes and lots of oranges to smell and white people were respected better. only technology is better now

[tomanyasses]

I think mostly everyone agrees that Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the best comedic geniuses of all time.
