    Stan Laurel's absence at Oliver Hardy's funeral in 1957 was rooted in profound grief and physical illness, not unresolved conflicts or estrangement.

    To acknowledge this classic comedy team is commendable, The script, however, so full of redundancies, is a disgrace, Let someone who loves Laurel & Hardy write a script that will give these men the credit they deserve. And a human narrator is due them.

      @@xxxxxxxx3476Thank you for your comments. I was young when I first saw Laurel & Hardy films, but I learned some indelible lessons about friendship and forgiveness and persistence and acceptance that framed my development in life. And such fine skill! These two had timing and grace in all their pratfalls, that only sometimes were they shown to have sustained injuries (in the script).
      There aren't many physical comedians anymore, let alone a duo like these guys.
      Here's a flap of my Oliver Hardy tie to you!

    I know that after Oliver died Stan never acted again. I do believe that he would be too heartbroken to attend the funeral. That and he didn't want the event to turn into a media circus.

    Among the many other faults on display here, at 0:42, there is a still of Steve Coogan and John C Reilly from the movie which came out a few years ago. Both great actors and the film was lovely, but they are not Stan and Ollie.

    Ditto, I can’t stand the repetitive AI, narration and the fact that not one film clip matched the narrative. Very poor presentation

      I noticed that there was a clip of Charlie Chaplin making an acceptance speech at an awards ceremony. I also noticed that they had clips of the actors portraying Laurel and Hardy from the movie Stan and Ollie as well of clips of the real Laurel and Hardy.

    He couldn't attend the funeral after such a close friendship. I hate funerals & know how he felt. He felt like half of him was torn away.

    Video could have been better edited. Dialog was repeated several times, voice does not pronounce words correctly.
    Too forever to get to the point of the title. Very poor.

    STAN LAUREL AND OLIVA NORVEL HARDY WERE BEST FRIENDS AND OLIVA NORVEL HARDY DIED IN 1957 FROM A STROKE AND STAN LAUREL DIED FROM A HEART ATTACK AT THE AGE OF 65 YEARS OLD AND THEY WERE THE FUNNIEST COMEDY TEAM THAT EVER LIVED 😔

    • @moiracd
      @moiracd 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No, it was 'another nice mess'. In the film Another Fine Mess, he didn't say 'another fine mess. I've been to both their graves, I've been to the museum in Ulverston, I've been a guest at a Laurel & Hardy tent. I've also been to Stan's first house and The Music Box Steps. To be accepted at the tent I had to have a custard pie in my face, which I gladly accepted.

    I loved the comedies of these two actors. I hope that no-one will critisize me for saying this, but if Stan had died first instead of Ollie, I hope that Ollie would have felt as much grief about losing his best friend as much as Stan did.

    This Video is a disgrace in so many ways! Disturbing editing..soulless AI voice!... sensless repeating of scenes. Amateur work and a sample how AI, used by a talentfree director , can harm film history
    Very poor. To the responsable Editors: Please, if You seriously love the work of these wonderful comedians...take this "Video" off the line!

    Stan was never, as you said, "under the tutelage of Charles Chaplin" in Hollywood. Chaplin and Laurel came to America as members of the Fred Karno troupe of British music hall performers. Yet, once in Hollywood, they each went their own way after quitting Karno. Stan Laurel never again worked with "The Little Tramp." And one more thing; There was no massive pie fight in "Big Business" as you claimed. Instead, it occurred in The Battle of the Century." And Stan's name was NEVER pronounced "Lorell," as you said it. It was always "Laurel."

    • @amberola1b
      @amberola1b 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      that`s ok, it sounds like this video was made by an A.I. bot because of all of the mispronunciations of certain simple words that the bot gets right one minute, and then mispronounces the same words wrong the next minute. And then there`s the repetition of his dialog of his explanation in the video. And the random video clips that are either out of order from the shorts he`s explaining about, or clips that don`t even have anything to do with the video he`s trying to make. WELL, HERE`S ANOTHER CRAPPY VIDEO YOU GOTTEN US INTO WATCHING!!!!

      It used to be until Cumbria was created in 1974 from the traditional counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, the Cumberland County Borough of Carlisle, along with the North Lonsdale or Furness part of Lancashire (which is where Ulverston is), usually referred to as "Lancashire North of the Sands", (including the county borough of Barrow-in-Furness) and, from the West Riding of Yorkshire, the Sedbergh Rural District.

    Lovely tribute, but it could have been produced at half the running time without loss of any meaningful content. Laurel's absence at his partner's funeral was not easily excused by his (and your) comments. It would have been much more respectful had he showed up.

      Stan Lauren's health at that point wasn't great. He probably would have if his health was better and not on the decline as well. Oliver Hardy, who battled his own health issues, would have understood.
