Laurel & Hardy - Fra Diavolo (Dennis King)

[@ghostrider-ek8gu]

One of the greatest Laurel and Hardy movies, with the amazing voice of Dennis King.

[@mail2mjt]

Dennis King is my wife's 'Great Uncle', and only the other day we were looking at a family photograph of him, along with my father-in-law, who is Dennis King's nephew, and I have to say "It makes one VERY PROUD!!!"

[@MrDravenLee]

I would be proud too. Dennis had a great voice and to be in a film with the two kings of comedy and Thelma Todd. Your wife is lucky! Respects!

[@MrDravenLee]

Ollie's face when Dennis starts singing makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it. The gorgeous Thelma Todd in this film too.love her ♡

Für mich , der beste Film der Beiden !!!

[@ivanaandric5703]

My favorite Laurel and Hardy film with great Dennis King ❤❤❤!

[@sabonesjones]

Dad got me into laurel and hardy when I was a child I'm now 30 and still watch it with him since I bought him all the Dvds. Love me some laurel and hardy!

[@MrsLeiLie]

On younder rock reclining, That fierce and swarthy form behold Fast his hands his carbine hold, 't is his best friend of old This way his steps inclining , His scarlet plume waves ov'r his brow , And his velvet cloak hangs low Playing in careless flow Tremble , e'en ehile the storm is beating Afar hear echo repeating , Diavolo , Diavolo , Diavolo

[@MAELR0]

Yes, big thank you!!!

[@ivanaandric5703]

Thank you so much ❤!

[@LITZIE09]

Un vrai chef d œuvre !

[@ahmetf.cavusoglu1495]

My father used to tell me this story as a fairy tale and sang his song to me and his father told him this movie. I am 20 years old, my father 56 my grandfather 91

[@BattlestarDamocles]

Love this film and song :D Thanks.

[@DSR299]

Dennis King is a forgotten Treasure. His voice is perfect. Swarthy!

[@levbenrechab]

Thank you very much for this upload!

[@ilpiccolodiavolo-o6f]

😈..I found a video cassette with the film but seeing them even like this makes me nostalgic every now and then,😁, great masters of the past!!!..👍👍.it always makes me smile...

[@dianapohe]

questo film l'ho guardato ininterrottamente quando avevo 4-5 anni.... cioè 9 anni fa XD stanlio e ollio rule!

[@scumbucket1019]

Man I love this movie... but then again, I may be biased because in my humble opinion, L&H can do no wrong... Brilliant singing in this too...

[@Bigsnake210]

If you are interested search for "Tito Gobbi - Fra' Diavolo", it's the italian version of the opera.

[@ps2theman232]

I remember this from the laurel & hardy shorts that were shown on the Saturday Morning Matinee on TV 60 years ago! Great to view this once more!

[@joezeff7513]

Me too, but I remember them from the early to mid-1950s. I haven't seen this in decades, but I still remember that melody.

[@mail2mjt]

@brassens66 My father-in-law is a nephew of Dennis King, which makes his father a brother of Dennis. As I said before, we were only looking at a photo of all the brothers the other day, as my father-in-law is now 85 and he was reminiscing. My wife has sent a message to wiltonian also. Thanks again for the excellent footage!

[@shaunwalker2557]

Fantastic voice..and as a villain...he really looks the part.

[@salvatoreplacidoplumari3840]

Fra Diavolo is based on a historic person; his name was Michele Pezza, a Brigand and fighter against French supremacy in southern Italy at the time of Napoleon

[@Fuzzy6405yahoocom]

great acting by Hardy. ON YONDER ROCK RECLINING, DIAVOLO....AH....EH.....

[@voltape]

This is the French opera Fra Diavolo, composed by Auber: Voyez sur cette roche- ce brave à l'air fier et hardi - son mousquet est pres de lui - c'est son meilleur ami, etc, which in South America became the popular "Se va, se va la lancha, se va con el pescador, y en esa lancha que cruza el mar, se va tambien mi amor.

[@hemming57]

I never miss a Dennis King picture!

[@alwaysnew189]

[@CLCroxx]

I always liked this L&H film best and simply loved the music. And just found out that it's an opera actually. Have to see it!

[@crazyeaglebrazil]

REAL ART - FUNNY AS INTENDED and SO GOOD - YA VOLL

[@maikedulk]

Awesome.

[@safakerseven]

It's a realy nice and kitsch, classic movie and reminds me of my childhood. I have watched this movie probably more than a hundred times :-))..And s.thanks for sharing these ...

[@sudarsandm]

I like the comedy and also the song

[@mikosaaol]

this guy had a real voice......like a man. james taylor should hide when dennis king is singing

[@PasAthene]

@mail2mjt - How exciting! I once came across a website with pictures and news articles of Dennis King put together by a relative of his but I didn't bookmark it and could never find it again. (I have a bit of a crush on Dennis King.)

[@bookslover85]

really??? I love him... he was so cute and I think he had also a beautifull voice, well I just saw him in this movie but I think he was really good!!!

[@mikosaaol]

when he sings tremble.........i tremble.

[@florianreins6199]

Thank's

[@tiagopsc]

diablooo diablooo!!! grandiosiii !!

[@anonymous-zk3mi]

Fra Diavolo, aka Michele Arcangelo Pezza, was an Italian soldier and brigand lived during 1771-1806.

[@danilodaversa6535]

Bel film Haaaaaaaaaaaa 😗😻😀😝😋😍😘😜😁😉

[@alfredbernasek6761]

GROSSARTIGER FILM MIT DER TRAUMSTIMME VON DENNIS KING

[@irenezago9937]

The crush I had on Sir Denis ❤

[@nbHawkeye]

Die letzen paar Szenen im Gasthaus sind einfach nur episch - und nicht zu vergessen die als Stan und Ollie merken das sie da grade Fra Diavolo beklauen wollen. XD

[@mail2mjt]

@wiltonian In that case I was looking at a photo with your father on only the other day. I am Dennis's Great Niece and my father (who is now 85) is his Nephew, which makes my grandfather Dennis's brother and obviously your fathers brother! Confused...you will be? :-)

[@pitbulldemartino364]

Fra Diavolo, eterno brigante del Regno di Napoli.

[@jnklwer]

Wo gibt es den Film mit der originalen deutschen Vertonung?!

[@brassens66]

Oben in den Anmerkungen, stehen die Titel in anderen Ländern, u.a. "Die Sittenstrolche", damit dann googeln.

[@armandblake]

I wonder of that's where they took inspiration for Diavolo in JoJo

[@Mor3311]

Hahaha I play that on piano xP

[@jammy2k77]

Love this although I prefer Heavy Metal!

[@paolorospo5662]

Certo che la GRANDE MUSICA OPERISTICA ITALIANA in ambito amaracano, e' come "Gettare le perle ai porci" come pronuncia il Vangelo ; infatti laggiu' IL GRANDE SUCCESSO EUROPEO DEL FILM : fu una caga... !

[@irenezago9937]

L'opera è francese e non italiana.

[@paolorospo5662]

@@irenezago9937 INFATTI OGNI TERMINE TECNICO -MUSICALE IN UN'OPERA E' ITALIANO, COME NEL LIBRETTO E NELL'ORCHESTRA E NEI SINGOLI STRUMENTI E' ITALIANO : questa assoluta convinzione accade quando l'ignoranza sposa l'anti-italianita', come p.es. Macron vuole "INDIETRO" i gradini di Trinita' dei Monti perche' presume (?) che Villa Medici sia sua, ignorando che persino la Regina Cristina di Svezia sparo' la famosa palla di cannone a pietra contro il portone della Villa occupata dai "Padroni d'Italia" che ne conserva l'incavo del colpo, mentre la palla di pietra e' nella fontana antistante. A proposito il Macron dimentica certo in buona fede che le prede belliche del ladrone traditore italiano di Corsica (per pochi giorni di nascita dal furto franzoso dell'isola genovese) tentato dal plenipotenziario italiano CANOVA dopo la legalitaria RESTAURAZIONE dalla sconfitta definitiva napoleonica, venne IMPEDITA FRAUDOLENTEMENTE dai ladri franzosi grazie alla loro gallica barbara legalite' e piu' della metà del bottino rubato rimase europeisticamente nelle grinfie del depredatore d'europa: Quando pensa la GRANDEUR COLONIALISTA di Macron di restituircela ? sono tutte opere artistiche italiane, così come la Civilta' Romana che abbiamo generosamente loro donato, ai barbari galli dalle grandi corna dei loro antenati, altro che lo stupido capovolgimento storico - fumettistico delle convinte fandonie di Asterix & co.
