Wow. Thanks amillion for sharing this clip. Yeah, Ollie is hard(l)y recognizable at all. Well it was for his best (I mean the wieght loss must have just earned him a coupla good more years of life). It runs tears to my eyes. Great to see them have a great time. They earned our respect and love. Big part of cinema history. Here's to you Stan and Ollie....
What fantastic footage! I love the golden age of comedy, the days of making people laugh without bad language and mocking others have long gone. Well done.
They were two of the greatest comedians of all time, and the fact that so many remember them so fondly is they cared about each other. The did not have the nasty fights and ill feelings like Martin & Lewis and Abbott & Costello.
They both changed the way comedy was made forever. And in the process influenced comedians down the years. The way Oliver Hardy looks to camera in the B+W films, was copied by Eric Morecambe, another great comedian. The slapstick influenced everyone from the Goons to the Young Ones. And the half hour/ 20 minute format was the template for all sictoms.
Impossible to quantify, never repeated, true innovators.
many people have forgotten how awesome they were . no special effects needed , one of the best movie duos ever ! kings of the silver screen, for real!
Hardy had lost the weight because he had a stroke. Laurel lived on after Ollie died but in declining health. They where the greatest and got along well acting together.
Yes, they look terrible in their old age, and yet...this film is so beautiful. Two of the greatest comedy legends of all time. Not even their old age and deteriorating looks could take away such incredible brilliance and the laughter they brought to us. My eyes are watering over it too.
Hi folks out there,this duo was the best of the best,Im from pr and used to go and visit my mom in new york,and we always watch this two great guys,very humble people. I was a kid back in the 1950s and I never forgot them,may the rest in peace.
I was at my sister in law's house the other day, the TV was on and showing one of this great couple's films. My 12 year old nephew was watching and roaring with laughter. :)
I agree with moojawooja, these two guys were the greatest comedy duo ever to grace the silver screen. Maybe you have to have been a kid when I was, back in the 1950s, to feel that way, I don't know. But they were on TV every day (HEAVEN!) in the great movies they made mostly in the 1930s, and we all must have watched every film of theirs twenty times and kept right on laughing just as hard as the first time. May choirs of angels - playing wah-wah trumpets - bear them to their rest!
I'm a little confused cause I've watched other clips of them made a year later....fascinating footage though. I heard Oliver had lost a lot of weight towards the end of his life. Which may or may not have lead to two massive strokes which ended up killing him.
so sad see big guy all his life go down hill to nothing,see thats illness thats done this,like comment on here see hes under weight,funnies guys that ever waz,never been double act ever as funny,rip both.
i was breought up on stan and ollie(babe) and a lot of comediennes over the years owe them a debt of gatitude for setting out the way forward.I just wish life could rewind alot of years to when comedy was simpler less vulgar but ultimately more effective and long standing !!!!!!!!
Ollie starts with the question : Did you ever have a Father? Stan: Yes, he fell through a trapdoor and broke his neck. Ollie : Was he building a house? Stan: No, they were hanging him. Oh what fantastic classic stuff. Here is anorher. (When the two lads are presenting the deeds of a gold mine to a women who is an imposter ). She says: Is my father really Dead? Stan Says: i hope so, we buried him. She says: What did my father die of? Stan says: I think it was a Tuesday or maybee a Wednesday
Very nostalgic film footage indeed that brings both a smile and tear to my eyes. Whoever selected the music is to be congratulated. It's brilliant and captures the proper mood of Hollywood's BEST comedy duo!
ok let's be serious here...dislike the chuck norris shit,dislike justin bieber videos,fake reality shows and fan made movie trailers...dislike video clips by lame ''artists'' who are forgotten after their 1st appearance,dislike the bootleg videos on conserts,dislike covers on songs,dislike ''funny videos'' that you don't laugh with,dislike pc games ,dislike interviews but WHY THE HELL WOULD SOMEBODY DISLIKE THIS???
Thanks for posting this. I loved Stan and Ollie when I was a kid. Do did my dad. I grew up near North Shields, but didn't know Stan Laurel was from there until I was much older.
I would like to know if the other people could be identified, who was that young man, which of the ladies were the wives to Stan and Ollie, etc. This is amazing footage. Thank you so much for posting it.
With all that great humor, there was also the marvelous diction of both Stan and Ollie.
Listen to both their manner of speaking. Stan came to the States as a relatively young man, thereby was able to 'smooth out' his English accent and create a more pleasant, neutral sound.
Oliver Norvell Hardy was from a fine old genteel Kentucky Family, and his gracious class showed through every time he spoke.. "Now here's another fine mess you've gotten me into Stanley".
Hello,reader. If you started reading this, don't stop or else. I hate people who post these kind of omments but.... Post this to 16 videos in 30 minutes and promise yourself never to listen to these comments or make one up. But this one is real. If you dont post this, a boy with no head or legs will show up in your room at midnight and kill you. Everyone will forget u. start posting. the timer will start as soon as you finish reading this.
it almost makes me weep a little! Stan & Ollie were amazing & talented and their craft is slowly dying so we should relish in the greatness of such fine physical comedy!!!
stan and ollie were not as close as people think; it wasn't til their WW2 touring across Europe did they become the unbreakable friends they seem here. In the end they both were endeared to each other. Thus, one supposes, is their eternal appeal.
Wonderful to see them in later life! thank you so much! Ollies lost his rolie polie shape but still has that comic timing. Watch him flick stans tie! Dear friends to the end. we all should be that way.
Old never to be forgotten ledgends but old age and death will get us all in time yes its sad too see them like this just remember them with all the good times they made us laugh RIP you two.
Abbott & Costello, 3 stooges, Laurel & Hardy, W.C. Fields........R.I.P. to these great legends, it seems that the 50's was a very brutal time in entertainment history, we lost curly, shemp, costello, hardy, and the day the music died as well.
@MeMrecious I agree that Ollie was the star. He just had a magic touch. But I think Stan was the better writer and gagman. I'm not just saying that because I'm English either! :) You gotta love em both though! Long live L&H!! :) :) :) My fav bit is when Stan shuts the door from the car that was being towed. The hole car falls apart and when Stan goes inside he just says 'What happened?' hahahaha
My dad and I used to watch them all the time in the 50's. There old movies like way Out West and Bonnie Scotland are still some of my favorites. Not only do they bring back good memories but also growing up with a great Dad.
Unforgetable, the men of my childhood. Thank You so much Mr. Hardy and Mr. Laurel! I really think and hope, that You can see what all Your fans have wrote in the internet. Thank You "KLUKHUHNTJE" for the great vid!
One thing I noticed that I saw in this video. That Stan was a chain smoker. He would finish one and then start another one, as seen in this video, and then he would throw the trash on the ground! I know it was a different time. Anyway, their comedic talent overshadown any of this!!
@shalompeace1321 Who cares? Who didn't smoke back then? The fact that as a chain smoker he lived to 74 is proof enough that smoking isn't as bad for you as everyone today has been lead to believe.
@VinylToVideo No, Stan was very lucky to live so long. And life back then was easier in a way, less stress on the body from chemicals, bad air, etc. Also, Stan's body must have been able to withstand the effects of smoking for those many years. And who is to say, he might have lived longer, if he did not smoke.
Also on the German television provided Stan and Ollie for everlasting great moments in television entertainment. Such a brilliant duo of comedy entertainment, it is as long as television is, never give back! Stan and Ollie - thank you for everything! RIP!
Possible the greatest comedians that every lived! I am only 14 years old but I love Laurel and Hardy, I use to watch it with my grandad when I stayed over at his house, We would both be sat curled up with laughter over them! R.I.P Stan and Ollie (The best comedians that ever lived)
What's amazing is such a humble home for such an important and famous actor! It would seem that just about anyone could walk right up to that door, knock, and Stan would answer it himself. This can only mean 1 of 2 things, by comparison, L & H didn't make anywhere near the kind of money actors make today (too bad because they were much more talented), or that Stan was a very wise and frugal man who didn't waste his money on overpriced McMansions. RIP to the greatest comedians that'll ever be!
Stan Laurel even listed his telephone number in the white pages of the telephone directory. A certain young comedian who was a huge fan of Stan found his name in the book and called him. They became such good friends that the young comedian ended up giving the eulogy at Stan's funeral. That young comedian---Dick Van Dyke. It's true. You can verify it on the web in several places. Mr. Van Dyke even mentioned it in several interviews.
How could anybody dislike this great footage. It really shows how much caring both Stan and Oliver had for each other that made them the greatest comedy team of all time
@joshuamyler I wish that too but the only thing we can do for this two is keep them in our hearts ;) (hope this is right, my english is not very well ^_~)
I remember sitting on my Dad's knee as a small boy watching Stan and Ollie and laughing myself silly. Now my son sits on my knee and does the same. Their kind of comedy never ages and no doubt in time, my grandson will be sitting on my son's knee and reliving the laughter all over again. True comedy legends.
@dokkenratt My father did the same with me and I do it with my son. Its a beautiful thing. It makes me happy to know that others are passing it on to future generations. :)

@jonkheere1 not quite. he was informed by his physician to lose weight. Trouble is he did it wrong...he lost way too much too quickly and the effect was deadly.
Thank You My Friend,You are indeed correct,I was of the belief that Ollie's weight loss was down to something more sinister.But after reference checks,I bow to Your superior knowledge!
Wow. Thanks amillion for sharing this clip. Yeah, Ollie is hard(l)y recognizable at all. Well it was for his best (I mean the wieght loss must have just earned him a coupla good more years of life).

Dint recognize Ollie. He had lost so much weight. I remember watching their movies as a child and I just love the pair.... RIP.

One thing I noticed that I saw in this video. That Stan was a chain smoker. He would finish one and then start another one, as seen in this video, and then he would throw the trash on the ground! I know it was a different time. Anyway, their comedic talent overshadown any of this!!

@shalompeace1321 Who cares? Who didn't smoke back then? The fact that as a chain smoker he lived to 74 is proof enough that smoking isn't as bad for you as everyone today has been lead to believe.

@VinylToVideo No, Stan was very lucky to live so long. And life back then was easier in a way, less stress on the body from chemicals, bad air, etc. Also, Stan's body must have been able to withstand the effects of smoking for those many years. And who is to say, he might have lived longer, if he did not smoke.

This is a very charming home video. Sweet mood and so much like the silent
pictures Stan and Ollie were known for. A lovely sentimental moment.
Thank you for sharing this.

What's amazing is such a humble home for such an important and famous actor! It would seem that just about anyone could walk right up to that door, knock, and Stan would answer it himself. This can only mean 1 of 2 things, by comparison, L & H didn't make anywhere near the kind of money actors make today (too bad because they were much more talented), or that Stan was a very wise and frugal man who didn't waste his money on overpriced McMansions. RIP to the greatest comedians that'll ever be!

Stan Laurel even listed his telephone number in the white pages of the telephone directory. A certain young comedian who was a huge fan of Stan found his name in the book and called him. They became such good friends that the young comedian ended up giving the eulogy at Stan's funeral. That young comedian---Dick Van Dyke. It's true. You can verify it on the web in several places. Mr. Van Dyke even mentioned it in several interviews.

I remember sitting on my Dad's knee as a small boy watching Stan and Ollie and laughing myself silly. Now my son sits on my knee and does the same. Their kind of comedy never ages and no doubt in time, my grandson will be sitting on my son's knee and reliving the laughter all over again. True comedy legends.
