How he let himself get so fat I never know ! He was round in front like a big beach ball . Not healthy and how could he even see to find his winkie to pee ? And stan was skin and bones ! Sad to see them so out of shape like that. My Aunt used to call them Dick und DIn. Fat & skinny in German. I guess she saw them in Germany when she was living there as a young girl.

One thing that made their old movies so great was the music written by Leroy Shield who also wrote the music for Our Gang (Little Rascals). The music in this movie will never be identified with these two great actors.
L&H were the best comedy team of all time but their best body of work came between 1929 and 1941. so about 12 years. The last truly great show they gave us was 'A chump at Oxford'. After that they were really getting too old and were not being give artistic freedom anyway, plus they were having quite a few health and personal issues in their lives. Stan always regretted working for fox and others after 1941. Ive watched all of their work they did between 29 and 41, many times over, except for Fra Diavolo and Bonnie Scotland (which i havent seen). and i never tire of it. I could not bring myself to watch utopia.
@@PP1969GR it was me if you're a fan of them Colin you would obviously had understood the comment but if you don't see how they changed over the years Brian Then may I suggest you look at some of the older ones, or are you someone who just likes to nit pick ,if that's the case Roland you've chosen the wrong one ,now get back to your Taylor Swift videos there's a dam good chap
Stan said in the 1960s how very ill he was durning the filming and how he had to have a nurse on the set . It was suppose to be six weeks of filming that turned into six months.They were sorry they made the picture.
Not only six months, the whole thing took about a year to make, and Stan was so ill they even had to pause the shooting for two months to get him hospitalized. Poor Stan and Ollie, the shooting must have been a disaster and the worst experience they had in their life.
I've seen many films of Stan and Oliver and each time I was laughing and still today until to discover this one, their last one, two days ago. I didn't know about this movie . I knew that Stan and Oliver were sick at the end of their lives but when I saw the beginning of Utopia (sound and picture escaped from the early 40's) , especially Stan Laurel that was a terrible shock for me to the point of stopping the video. RIP gentlemen Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy.
- What did it say ? - I wouldn't care to repeat it. (C) This duo's cinematic way is grand style. They performed as they aged like true actors. The movie that ages with the actors like wine.
the most two icons of comedy of all time .brilliant fantastic the way thay do things rong .thay make us all laugh in ways thay do things . rong . mr laurel and mr hardy . every film thay maid brilliant. fantastic. thay all ways put on a great performance. two very outstanding actors. brilliant. God bless them brilliant. iv been watching thease since 1964. very funny . brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎭
They did a pretty descent job in this film considering both had aged, and not much plot, but their special bond and humor shines through, enjoyed this movie a lot. Sat back with pop corn and coke and make it a nice family affair, humor at its best.
Tbh, compared to the poor post-Roach crap they made in the early 40s, this one wasn't that bad and one of their better later films. Still very sad to see them obviously suffering from age and sickness though.
Shame it edits part of the film at about 43:34 and cuts a chunk out! Sad really as it spoils the coherence of the film. Why bother putting up a film with the middle part cut out?
I have never seen this film before; very late for one of their films in the early 1950's; Ollie died in 1957, just 7 years after this film was made and Stan would looks more ill, lived another 14 years until 1965.
It seems to me that I have already seen this actress, Suzy Delair, she notably played in the film "Quai des Orfèvres" with Bernard Blier and Louis Jouvet, a very great classic of French cinema.
I enjoy to watch the good Laurel & Hardy movies, not this movie, where you can notice, that both actors hadn't the best health and director and writer hadn't the best competence.
They were sick because they suffered from disastrous shooting conditions - the crew was anything but professional, and the shooting took place in a hot summer in southern France. Stan suffered from diabetes among other things, making him lose weight, and Ollie was struggling with obesity, cardiac fibrillation and flu. It was their worst filming experience ever, and unsurprisingly it remained their last film. In the mid-50s there were plans for a L&H TV show, but they died when Ollie had a stroke and retired from acting.
Made in the sunset of their careers, this movie was made to satisfy Hal Roach. Stan and Ollie were old and sick during the filming. Oliver died a few years later in very ill health at age 65. Laurel died in 1965 at age 74 . They were obviously not at their best in this film and the writers offered a very poor script; still this comedy duo left us with many happy memories. They were the best.
Hal Roach was in no way associated to this film; it was made by French producers who tried to cash in on L&H's popularity, which was still very huge in Europe at that time, in order to help rebuild and re-popularize the European film industry after WWII with some recognizable faces. Needless to say the film and its production history were a disaster from day one, and seeing the old, sick L&H suffering through this is rather sad than funny. It was their worst filming experience ever and unsurprisingly remained their last film.
In the late 1940s, a coalition of French and Italian film companies approached the guys about making a film in Europe. It looked good on paper, since they would be allowed sympathetic working conditions, script approval and other artistic freedoms that made their Hal Roach films so good and was not permitted for their later Fox and MGM films. However, due to the complicated financing, French and Italian actors had to be hired, and none spoke English! So part of the cast would be delivering their lines in French, others answering in Italian, with Stan and Ollie trying to do their dialogue in English, with the non-English actors all poorly dubbed later. The director was inept, and if that wasn't enough, Stan got deathly ill during filming and looks like death warmed over. The film was finally finished in 1951. At least the dialogue fits their characters (unlike the Fox and MGM films where they spout stuff that Stan and Ollie would never say). But the production is so bad, the dubbing horrible, Stan's sickly appearance depressing and Hardy's weight now well over 300 pounds, the whole film is a very sad swan song to the greatest comedy duo in the history of motion pictures.
I agree. While it's far from being their worst film and still better than their poor 1941-45 Fox and MGM productions, it's rather sad than funny to see these poor chaps obviously being old and sick, which makes it hard to laugh at them. In their best films, they were so funny and adorable because they were grown men behaving like children, Here, they are just sick, old men making a fool of themselves.
Poor L&H do really not look good in this. They suffered from disastrous shooting conditions and poor health - the crew was anything but professional, and the shooting took place in a hot summer in southern France. Stan suffered from diabetes among other things, making him lose weight, and Ollie was struggling with obesity, cardiac fibrillation and flu. At one point shooting had to be paused altogether for two months because Stan had to be hospitalized. It was their worst filming experience ever, and unsurprisingly remained their last film. In the mid-50s there were plans for a L&H TV show, but they died when Ollie suffered a stroke, forcing him to retire from acting. They still made some highly successful live tours in America and Europe throughout the 1950s though.
This rubbish has nothing to do with the actual L&H. It was made when they were already dead, and Stan already didn't like the idea when he was still alive.
There Last movie together when babe died a part of stan died too. Really remarkable to think how i as a kid in the noughties watched these on bbc 2 subtitled . I never watch black and white but for these 2 I did😁
By this stage in their careers Stan and Ollie had little say in their films, Hal Roach tried controlling everything on screen they did which eventually caused the duo to part ways with Roach acrimoniously, unfortunately it only got worse as other studios treated them the same as well. I find this too sad and painful to watch.
This film is VERY sad to watch. L and H would've NEVER put this movie out if they had more control. Oliver was at his heaviest and Stan looked just plain ill. if u really wanna watch L and H in their prime watch their sound shorts produced by Hal Roach from 1929-1935 . As far as films a good starter kit would be to watch "Sons of the Desert" Other good films were Way Out West, Pack Up Your Troubles, and Block Heads. By this point they were elder statesmen and a younger, zanier, team was takin over they were called Martin & Lewis.
I agree with you entirely, if this movie had been made ten or fifteen years earlier I would have found it easier to laugh , but Stan was so obviously very ill and Olly wasn't much better. I really couldn't raise a laugh. I loved them and thought they were the best there ever was and I've seen most of their films several times.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CLIP at all. GLAD THEY COULD DO IT FOR OUR ENTERTAINMENT . IT SHOWS US OUR LIFE ALSO, WHERE WE ARE ALL HEADED, SO PLZ, NO COMPLAINTS JUST ENJOY FOR WHAT IT IS , ANOTHER PERFECT LAUREL AND HARDY HD FOREVER.
Why is Hal Roach's name presented at the opening? He didn't have anything to do with this production, as far as I know!? What a mess! From the direction, to the production, to the writing, to the health of the stars - a miss on every front. And yet the magical Laurel & Hardy almost make this thing work. Virtually nobody's last film is their best, but these masters deserved so much better! But I am grateful to have a chance to see this doomed film!
Stan was terribly sick with his diabetes, looked so gaunt and drawn (although he would bounce back and live on till 1965, and poor Ollie was at his all time heaviest and would become very ill and as you say pass just 6 short years later
This movie was a disaster. They used the popularity of Laurel and Hardy just to make a picture. Both of them said that they hated it but had to fulfill their contract with the studio.
You're not wrong there, but you have to consider the historic circumstances: The film was made in post-WWII 1950s Europe. At that time the European film industry was still recovering from WWII, and L&H were still enormously popular throughout Europe, so they tried to re-popularize European film with two still very popular and recognisable names and faces. While the film of course became a fiasco in the end, you can't really blame the producers for what they were trying to do.
IM 79 YEARS OLD & STILL WATCH STAN&LAUREL STILL MAKE ME HAPPY TWO BE PART OF THEM
I'm 37 and my grandma got me to loving them as a child.

11 and I love these guys, so much so that I even have every artical of suit clothing that Stan had on in almost every film they were in.
i 71 same
Are you Italian
They were sick in this film, not to mention in their 60's! It may not be their best, but anything they did together is worth watching in my opinion!
Thanks for the laughter and the tears boys . There will never be anyone funnier. No swearing etc just good fun. RIP heroes.
Stan almost looks like another person... It's sad... But it's also awesome!
Even old and getting sick, they are still the best!
i thought it was a stand in
How he let himself get so fat I never know ! He was round in front like a big beach ball . Not healthy and how could he even see to find his winkie to pee ? And stan was skin and bones !

1 hour 40 is the full version. 1 hour 22 is the UK/US cut I believe. Wish they would get some of their movies out in remastered Blu-Ray.
Stan, while admittedly very ill (he was 60 at filming but looks 15 years older) still gives a better performance than in most of the Fox/MGM films.

This movie was a disaster. They used the popularity of Laurel and Hardy just to make a picture. Both of them said that they hated it but had to fulfill their contract with the studio.
You're not wrong there, but you have to consider the historic circumstances: The film was made in post-WWII 1950s Europe. At that time the European film industry was still recovering from WWII, and L&H were still enormously popular throughout Europe, so they tried to re-popularize European film with two still very popular and recognisable names and faces. While the film of course became a fiasco in the end, you can't really blame the producers for what they were trying to do.
sadly the magic had gone by now
