  • 13/03/08 Stanlio & Ollio Teste Dure, 70 Anni
    13/03/08 STANLIO & OLLIO TESTE DURE, 70 ANNI DOPO! 1938-2008 Questa volta, eccovi un evento indicatoci da Alessandro Santi, fan sfegatato di Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy: nella sua città organizza, insieme a un buon numero di appassionati, la serata di esilaranza cinematografica STANLIO & OLLIO TESTE DURE 70 ANNI DOPO! 1938- 2008. Il tutto si svolge sabato 15 marzo (prossimo venturo) alle ore 16, presso il Cinema Borsi d’Essai, via San Fabiano, 49, 59100 Prato. La proiezione riguarda BLOCK-HEADS (Stanlio e Ollio Teste Dure – 20 anni dopo, 1938), uno dei più divertenti lungometraggi di Stanlio & Ollio nel settantesimo anniversario della sua uscita. Al film è abbinato, in prima visione cinematografica italiana, il rarissimo cortometraggio della serie Our Gang (Simpatiche Canaglie) dal titolo WILD POSES (Attenti al click!, 1933), che vede la partecipazione di Laurel & Hardy. I film sono restaurati, in pellicola, in versione integrale e in italiano grazie ancora una volta all’amorevole cura e competenza del "Vice Sceicco" Alberto Vangelisti. Con il patrocinio della Provincia di Prato e del Comune di Prato - Circoscrizione Centro. Non mancheranno le SORPRESE dentro e fuori lo schermo!!! L’entrata è a offerta libera (dicono gli organizzatori: "speriamo di replicare il plateale successo dello scorso anno")! I disegni di questo post appartengono alla longeva licenza ottenuta da Larry Harmon per produrre fumetti con Stanlio e Ollio. Non si trattava certo di capolavori da tramandare nei secoli: i disegni sono quello che sono, le gag mediamente scontate, come si nota anche da quella, riprodotta qua sopra, del gelato e dell'ottovolante, sfruttata più volte dagli editor della Dell anche con Bugs Bunny e Elmer Fudd, o con Picchiarello e Oswald the Rabbit.

    NEWS RELEASE 26 th Annual Music Box Steps Day This Year Celebrated Online! Saturday, October 24, 2 - 4 pm LOS ANGELES – You can’t keep a classic comedy team, or its legion of fans, down! The pandemic may have prevented an outdoor celebration of the 26th annual Music Box Steps Day family festival, but not an online version, which with just as much enthusiasm will honor Laurel & Hardy and the famed 133 stairs on Vendome Street in Silver Lake where Stan & Ollie filmed their 1932 Oscar- winning short, The Music Box . On Saturday, October 24, 2020, from 2 - 4 pm, a virtual Music Box Steps Day will be broadcast worldwide on SLIA’s web site (silverlakeimprovementassociation.org) and its Facebook page (facebook.com/musicboxstepsday). If you miss the inaugural, the video will still be online for the viewing time of your choice -- and either way, it’s free! The presentation was produced by the Silver Lake Improvement Association (SLIA) and actor/entertainer Edward E. Bell, and will feature a special screening of the recently restored version of the ever-hilarious, 29-minute-long The Music Box , in which the bungling duo valiantly attempt to deliver a player piano to a home atop a steep hill. Other attractions include a reprise of last year’s on-site filmed recreation of the legendary comedy. Emmy-winning actor and film historian Stan Taffel will provide background information about The Music Box and the endless staircase where several other early comedies (and more recent films) also were shot. Los Angeles City Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell, staircase historian Charles Fleming, and other prominent figures will be zoomed in.

    download torrent stan and ollie Download torrent stan and ollie. Seeds: 20 Peers: 43. Laurel Hardy, one of the largest comedy teams of the Worlds, created a trip to the UK in 1953. Diminished in age and with his golden age, like the Kings of the Hollywood comedy now behind them, they face an uncertain future. As the charm and beauty of their performances sparkle, they again connect with their fans adoring. The tour will be a hit, but Stan Ollie can’t shake the specter of Laurel and Hardy’s past; Dlgopogrebanite spirits, along with unruined olives, are beginning to threaten their precious partnership. The portrait of the most tender and poignantly creative marriages, they are aware that they can come closer to their Swan Song, trying to rediscover how much they mean to each other. Laurel and Hardy, the most famous comic duo in the world, are trying to revive his cinematic career as they embark on what their swan song is about – a grueling post-war theatrical tour in the UK. Directed by: John C. Baird author: Jeff Papa Stars: Jon Riley, Shirley Henderson, Steve Coogan. The true story of the biggestHollywood double-action comedy, Laurel and Hardy, is worn on the big screen for the first time. Starring Steve Coogan and John S. Riley as unique movie icons, Stan and Ollie are the story that warms the heart of what would be the triumphant farewell tour of the couple. With his golden era far behind him, the couple embark on a visit to the variety Hall in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Now, while we have not drifted so far away that the far shores presently reside on distant continents (or in-continents as may be the case with some of our members), it certainly wouldn’t hurt to put our shoulders together, row for the beach and hope sin- cerely that we wind up somewhere in the vicinity of Culver City.

  • Bonnie Scotland
    Bonnie Scotland USA | 1935 | 77 minutes Credits In Brief Director James W. Horne Laurel and Hardy head for Scotland and, after unwittingly enlisting in a Scottish Screenplay Frank Butle, Jeff Moffitt regiment, are posted to Raj-era India. The Lancashire-born Laurel began his career at Glasgow’s Metropole theatre, which his father managed at the time. Music Marvin Hatley, Leroy Shield Photography Art Lloyd Cast Stanley MacLaurel Stan Laurel Ollie Hardy Oliver Hardy Lorna MacLaurel June Lang Allan Douglas William Janney Bonnie Scotland marks a turning point in the career of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy because, after four years of mixing an occasional feature film with their output of comedy shorts, the team now turned exclusively to features. Produced by MGM and the pair's mentor, Hal Roach, this eight-reel comedy proved to be Laurel and Hardy's most profitable film to date. The plot has the boys stowing away to Scotland aboard a cattle boat so Stan, the American black sheep of a Scottish clan, may collect an inheritance from his grandfather, the late Angus MacLaurel. To the pair's disappointment, said inheritance turns out to be nothing more than a snuff box and a set of bagpipes. After wandering into a recruiting line, the guys are forced to join the Scottish Army and are shipped off to India. Despite the movie's title, much of the story takes place there, as the boys try to adjust to military life and eventually help a fellow soldier (William Janney) put down an Arab uprising. A separate storyline, which is never resolved, involves Janney's love affair with a pretty girl (June Lang) from the MacLaurel clan and her family's efforts to keep the lovers apart and secure the family fortune.
