Laurel and Hardy in the Hollywood Revue of 1929

your a fool

Thanks for putting this up - I'd never seen this clip before and it is hilarious.

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.

The skit's ok..the rest of the film and Mr.Benny..Not!

my name is Laurel

i bet you love this lee cook

That's the best Laurel & Hardy clip on Youtube.

drdee51 - I heard much the same. So glad I can see the boys here without all that awful window dressing.

"Unaccustomed as We Are," "Berth Marks," "Men O' War," "A Perfect Day" and "Hoosegow" all came out the same year. Now I've got to research which was filmed exactly when during that year! My first instinct is to say this clip was not their first. You raise a really interesting idea. What would it have been like if Laurel never spoke? Cannot even imagine it now.

I think that made Ollie's "Shut up!!!" even more hilarious! :D
