  • See for more rare Laurel and Hardy footage, by clicking my channel (klukhuhntje). Video's like the missing rogue scene, their last footage ever in 1956, the water rats in 1955, the tree in a test tube ,

    a interview and much, much more!

  • That is completely absurd, mdumas. L&H did several sound shorts before this in which Stan DID speak. If you have seen most L&H films, you will note that, most of the time, Stan's character did not speak until spoken to. If anything, the Marx Brothers copied HIM since he had been in the business for years before they were given a thought in Hollywood.

  • Borrow from the Marx brothers? Fear of British-rejection in the states? You do realize you're talking about comedic geniuses, don't you?

    Stanley's character never spoke without cause enough to come out of his shell. He knew is place around Hardy was to be silent until told otherwise.

    Besides, he did shush Oliver.

  • so bad you have more?

  • What a clip...3 comic giants together for the only time...and one of the few appearances by the Great Benny BEFORE he was 39! The only difference was that in '29 he was not funny yet.

  • The original Penn and Teller

  • This is the first time I've seen this, and even though I could anticipate a number of the gags, I still laughed at it.

    Laurel & Hardy became popular as silent film performers, and they were lucky that their voices were both good, and complimented their characters so well. That enabled them to remain stars in sound films.

  • Besides L&H, there ARE several other bright-spots to "Hollywood Revue": A Joan Crawford song-and-dance (which was used in "That's Entertainment"), and a nice, early- Technicolor "Romeo & Juliet" spoof, with John Gilbert, Norma Shearer, and Lionel Barrymore as their director, and that's about it. The rest(at roughly 2-long hours) is a genuine-challenge to wade through!
