This is such an underappreciated movie from Laurel and Hardy. The fact that they took advantage of the prohibition to make comedy out of it is genius. Nothing will come close to these two.
wonderful, wonderful comedians. I am 71 years old, and no matter how many time i see them, i still end up laughing my head off. My lovely old dad only had to hear the theme music, and he would start laughing, that's the way i am now.
The doctor character was indeed in The Music Box, along with other Laurel and Hardy shorts. He also provided the voice of Sneezy, in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!
It's great watching your reactions to all sorts of music,but Laurel and Hardy are a one of a kind experience and I laugh along with you at these shorts. My late cousin and I watched these together for decades and it makes me very happy to find some folks that appreciates them as much as we did. Thanks.
I always found it funny that they would just stand there and let the bad happen before reacting. I'm glad you mentioned you knew 'Tit For Tat' was the sequel for this one. After that, I hope you also have 'Our Wife' & 'County Hospital' on your soon to be watched Laurel & Hardy list.
Billy Gilbert (the doctor) also played the owner of the junkyard in Towed In A Hole. Mae Busch and Charley Hall both appear in The Live Ghost, which might be an appropriate choice for Halloween weekend.
Great reaction as usual…. One of their best shorts, and as someone who’s had gout I empathise 🤣 instead of medicine I should have gone on a caravan holiday
Love your Stan and Ollie vids! Plz watch Tit For Tat (p. 2 of Them Thar Hills) next! Charlie Hall and Mae Busch are always awesome! Also, you must see ‘Going Bye-Bye,’ ‘Come Clean,’ ‘Another Fine Mess,’ ‘Me and My Pal,’ and ‘Murder Case.’
Another fine dad & daughter reaction to the greatest comedy duo of all time. Looking forward to seeing what you make of the sequel, Tit For Tat, which is even funnier, and - I think - their only two-reeler to be nominated for an Oscar.
Brilliant reaction! Please react to "Tit for Tat" next.. it's a sequel to this episode (and I believe the only sequel Laurel & Hardy ever did). Please keep 'em coning! I love your videos!
BEANS & COFFEE, MY FAVORITE MEAL !! SOMETIMES I CAN GET SO HUNGRY, I COULD EAT A HORSE'S HEAD ! ( HORSE MEAT IS PRETTY GOOD, BTW ) THANKS AGAIN GUYS FOR A GOOD TIME, THE BEST TIME. LAUGHING ALL THE WAY UPHILL!!
This one is most interesting to be honest, the fun facts for it aren't that crazy, but they are existant non the less! The movie has one of the more interesting cast, we have the wonderfull Mae Bush, our Professor Scrapyard Owner Doctor Horned Husband Billy Gilbert, and of course, the all so always-explosive tempered Storeowner played by the marvelous Charlie Hall. This storyline is what you can call a reference to "County Hospital" and a predecessor to "Saps at Sea", in all three movies, the start is almost universally the same, Hardy gets a doctor visit and due to a condition he and Stan vacate the local area and decide to go somewhere else, or are forced to go somewhere. Just like in County Hospital, Ollie even has a bad foot. And just like Saps at Sea, they utilize a vehicle to get to their vacation site, in SaS its a boat, here its a trailer. Did you know this movie is a predecessor for "Tit for Tat"??? Mr. Laurel and Hardy meet again with a Shopowner named Mister Hall(!!!), and they recognize each other due their run in in the mountains (Them Thar Hills), leading to a lengthy and violent feud between the two shop owners, as Hard and Laurel also want to open a shop directly in the vicinity of Mr. Hall. It is one of the VERY FEW movies that has a direct reference to another movie or sets the foundation for another movie. Nearly all other movies of L&H are indeed encapsulated, isolated plots that have no continuity to any other movie. The fighting scene goes hand in hand with what people thought back then was happening between Law Enforcement and moonshiners, shootouts and arrests, maybe even explosions. The reality was that many moonshiners were only caught when people ratted them out, the police did raids on known distribution points, or the police found an shack in the wilderness with equipment in it. Moonshiners weren't at a "hideout" for this exact reason, to avoid being raided like this. The moonshiners dumping out the evidence would not have helped them, since they are in a shootout with the police, they would each been sentenced to 30 years in leavenworth, or shot dead either ways, the plot is a bit strange in this regard. The 1930's saw a large and more commercially successful production of "dry ice", which was exactly used to make smoke here and there when used - but in the case of the Ford Model T cooler that Ollie is driving, they used a smoke cap to generate a sense of "overheating" for the struggling engine. You can even see the efficiency of the engine in one short moment, right when they pull up to the well, the large radiator fan is pulling in the air and with it the smoke, showing how efficient that cooling design was. Charlie named after his real life self in this movie, Mr. Hall and Wife, this is just marvelous - look how fly Mr. Hall looks, and he's driving a nice car too, a 1930's Ford V8 Tudor from what it looks like. Quite the superluxurious vehicle way back when. Its identifyable due to a slightly bent chrome "bar" horizontally in front of the cooler, and a set of spare full sized wheels on the left and right side. There's also a tiny oval shaped bump on the hood which is the cooler grill figure in other cars, which makes me certain this is a V8, pretty decent ride Mr. Hall!!! The movie is albeit being full of slapstick, more story driven, which is what was the theme of the time, away from silent movie overused slapstick and on to a new venture, making more plot-driven stories. All in all, a good episode, 5/5! Dad sees to have enjoyed it too.
You both are AMAZING .... LOVE LOVE LOVE Stan and Ollie..... ALWAYS they bring me to tears of laughter..... Have you seen when they both did "THIS IS YOUR LIFE" .... Its on you tube .... Here is a link to it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZisHJguKKhw.html
