Old guy in laurel and hardy movies movie#
The whole movie is chock full of great gags, particularly from Laurel - his being able to inexplicably use his thumb as a lighter or attracting a pack of wild dogs after fixing a hole in his shoe with a tough steak - but nothing compares to his performance when the ruthless wife of the saloon owner tickles him ferociously in an attempt to get him to surrender the deed to her. Another classic set piece arrives a few minutes later, when Stan and Ollie join in with a rendition of "On the Trail Of The Lonesome Pine," a song with which they will forever be associated thanks to a brilliantly funny vocal gag performed by Stan Laurel (with the aid of sound trickery). Once there, they enter a saloon, performing as they arrive an irresistibly silly dance routine to "At the Ball, That's All," with a Western-looking group of men sat on the porch outside. Stan and Ollie are heading to the Wild West on an important mission: to give the deed to a late man's gold mine to his daughter, who is lodging with "guardians" in the town of Brushwood Gulch. But what happened to all his money Laurel would joke about his three wives getting it all, then explain that Producer Hal Roach owned all the Laurel and Hardy films. Here is a rundown of the finest Laurel and Hardy flicks that you need to see. As the hit 2018 biopic "Stan & Ollie" attests, the appeal of the famous duo is as great as ever, as new audiences continue to rediscover their timeless comedies.īut even the greats can have an off day.
Yet today, twice as many years away from the heyday of Laurel and Hardy as Vonnegut was when he wrote his book, "the Boys" are still remembered fondly. A number of gags around fun fair attractions appear in both pictures, such as the rotating. It is telling of Vonnegut's pessimism that he also feels the need to tell us all the way back in 1976 that Laurel and Hardy are figures from "long ago," artifacts he assumed would soon be forgotten in the ruthless future he envisioned. The film’s Coney Island sequences share a number of similarities with the second reel of Laurel and Hardy’s, Sugar Daddies (1927) and the same location, Venice Pier, as identified by locations expert, John Bengtson, appears to have been used for both. Norvell Hardy, who was to gain world fame as one half of the legendary movie comedy team of Laurel and Hardy, was born on January 18th, 1892, in Harlem, Georgia. Visit Eddie at his website or at Facebook. In 1976, the cult writer Kurt Vonnegut published his eighth novel, " Slapstick, or Lonesome No More!" It reads: "Dedicated to the memory of Arthur Stanley Jefferson and Norvell Hardy, two angels of my time." Though the names are unfamiliar, the accompanying caricatures - in their famous bowler hats and expressing their unmistakable smiles - give away who they are: Vonnegut's angels are Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, remembered today as the greatest comedy partnership Hollywood has ever known.
