Laurel & Hardy - Way Out West - (Tainted Love)

* Featured Video -
Stan & Ollie strutt their stuff (The Soft Shoe Shuffle) to the 80's classic Tainted Love by Soft Cell, while a bemused sheriff looks on.

Note - UMG (Universal Music Group ) has allowed me to use the soundtrack to which they own the copyright to (Soft Cell -Tainted Love) and also the rights to the movie 'Way Out West* / Stan Laurel Productions.

INFO -
From the motion picture WAY OUT WEST. The film's score was composed by Marvin Hatley and nominated for an Academy Award for Original Music Score. The film includes two famous songs, firstly "Trail Of The Lonesome Pine" sung by Laurel and Hardy except for a few lines by Chill Wills and Rosina Lawrence, lip-synched by Laurel. And secondly "At The Ball, That's All" sung by The Avalon Boys and accompanied by Laurel and Hardy performing an extended dance routine, one which they rehearsed endlessly.

"Trail Of The Lonesome Pine" was released as a single in Britain in 1975 backed by "Honolulu Baby" from Sons Of The Desert reaching number 2 in the British charts.

One of Laurel and Hardy's most fondly remembered productions, WAY OUT WEST features career-best material, including a chase around the villain's apartment ("Ah-hah!" "Oh-hoh!" "Ee-hee!"), three wonderful musical interludes, and one of cinema's most priceless set-pieces: Stan and Ollie's soft-shoe shuffle outside a saloon as the Avalon Boys sing 'At the Ball'!

Director James Horne was also responsible for many of L&H's short films, and his no-frills style is eminently suited to proceedings: Every routine is reduced to its basic components, all the better to 'sell' the gags, both visual and spoken. The film opened in 1937 to a number of lukewarm reviews, but has since secured its place within movie history. A bona fide masterpiece.

NB. The Avalon Boys included prolific character actor Chill Wills among their number (he also provides Stan's 'deep voice' during 'Trail of the Lonesome Pine'), and some of the incidental music was written by Irving Berlin! Neither of these gentlemen are credited on the print itself.

I like it. It's just a bit of fun. Things like this never quite stand up to close scrutiny. The sync is good. What software did you use?

[genfx303]

@simonsaladcream - The software I use is Sony Vegas 8.0.

[teamdoa]

+1 point for timing it well with the beat.

-1000000+ for the song use. I just dont see what it has to do with the overal theme...tainted love? ..what?

[genfx303]

@teamdoa Overall Theme? - I was just playing around with a video editor, it was an attempt. I didnt think folk would actually want to watch it. Thanks for the +1 though :-)

[genfx303]

I used this soundrack because they both act out the words of the tune, it's not just in-time with the beat. - I did try out several other tracks, but this one was the best match I think. - Thanks for the shouts :-)

Terrific effort , brilliant ! I'm sure that Ollie and Stan would've enjoyed the modern interpretation.
