Love Laurel and Hardy movies ..... almost 100 years later, but still unmatched greatness !!!!!

[@shawnpost2901]

You should get a gold medal for all of your hard work!! Thanks soooo much from a 66 year old L&H fan

[@markhayward7400]

I count myself fortunate. I belong to a generation that grew up when Laurel and Hardy's short features and films were still being shown regularly on the BBC here in the UK. I would have been about 5 years old the first time i watched them and laughed. The watching and the laughter have never stopped for me.

[@vincefenton]

I’ve always loved Stan and Ollie and enjoyed introducing them to my grandchildren. Just out of interest, I’m a retired vicar now but in my time, I served a church in Bishop Auckland, where Stan’s family lived for a time. I used to baptise children in the very font that Stan was baptised in - that always gave me a thrill ☺️

[@37view37]

It would thrill me as well! What a blessing for you to experience. Stan was by all accounts a kindly fellow.

[@kenm7179]

Now this guy is a true FANatic! "I have a 1927 telephone book", lol. I love Laurel and Hardy, so do my kids, and now my grandkids.

[@roncatton7101]

Loved these two clowns..❤ The days when entertainment was actually entertaining and funny.. RIP Stan & Ollie..😂😂

[@amafirenze-vi1uh]

Italy loves L&H. We still have their short movies on national TV on dinner time. ❤

[@Stejll1]

That was an amazing watch!!!!! Unbelievable the way the houses have hardly changed!

[@WisdomQuotesLife-sw3xk]

I will always love Laurel and Hardy , it's great that people keep their memory alive 🙂

[@steveg3981]

So interesting. Great research/work. Thank you

[@marksargent2440]

my childhood heroes .now that's another fine mess you got me in to

[@westfield90]

I loved them and I wish I was born in their time. Los Angeles must have been so clean, uncongested and beautiful

[@lindaosika7648]

I would love a time machine just to see how it was almost 100 years ago.

[@massoudkaykha2200]

I really enjoyed it. Thank you for your efforts. Massoud from Iran

[@11abrook]

Great to see. Thank you.

[@lfcmonkeyyyman6229]

Absolutely love your passion for the greatest double act of all time! I'm 65 now, and have been watching Laurel and Hardy for 61 years! Never get bored watching the geniuses at work!! Love all the videos you upload, and appreciate a the work you put in, though I guess for you, doing what you love isn't really work!!! Mick in UK 🇬🇧 ❤️

[@ALG6970]

Great presentation! About Hal Roaches story of destroying the wrong house, he said that when Stan was alive, because Stan did not like the story at all, and said it wasn't true. He said " what did he think we were, stupid? "

[@robisonn2]

I recently went to the Laurel and Hardy Museum in Stan's hometown of Ullverston, England. If your ever in England-a must stop! Their statue is around the corner in front of the library.

[@AnnaAnna-iv2ir]

Inimitabili, unici, meravigliosi e adorabili!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@PeterGriffin-lh6wp]

Wonderful. Thank you. Their like will never be seen again.

[@eugenebell3166]

Man I love these guys, the greatest comedy actors of all time. I love the mutual respect and warmth between them. From🇬🇧

[@joelhurley2678]

I am so glad you're doing the history of Laurel and Hardy. Because I used to follow Stan Laurel's daughter with a gentleman who would discuss the history of Laurel and Hardy on You Tube. I had the pleasure of being able to chat with her off the show and Stan Laurel's daughter was a very nice lady. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@AtariCrypt]

Great return this ❤

[@cherylschantz9893]

I’m actually surprised so much is still the same. I love older homes. Such character.

[@Headhacker]

My great uncle was Charlie Hall who starred in a lot of their films. He emigrated from Birmingham UK to Hollywood back in the 1920s and made his fortune!

[@nigelcarren]

Thank you for this mate. British bloke in a French forest here. Like diving and finding coral, I recently happened upon a rich seam of Laurel & Hardy DVD's in a local charity shop, and now... I have found my happy space! Best wishes to you... Subscribed. 🇬🇧🎬 🇺🇲

[@darthsaber3815]

Amazing what memories. Visited these at visits and convention trips. Thanx

The best comedy duo of ALL TIME! Wonderful video. Love your shirt also.

[@shamteal8614]

Fantastic, thank you very much for creating this wonderful video of the world's greatest comedy duos filming locations. Hopefully one day when crossing the pond and revisiting the US I will get to visit these places that you have worked so hard to find for us. All the best from the UK.

[@derklavierspieler7491]

A really interesting documentary. My dad knew Oliver Hardy. They met when Hardy moved from Georgia to Jacksonville, Florida. At the time, Jacksonville was a thriving film town and the railroad hub for the southern U.S. My dad worked for the railroad. He lived in the downtown area and had a favorite cafe he would eat dinner (supper: the evening meal) at 2 or 3 times a week. That's where he met Hardy, who was not famous then. My dad said they both had dinner about the same time and one day he was there when Hardy came in. The place was full, and he asked my dad if he could sit in the little booth with him as they had previously spoken several times and had a nodding acquaintance. Afterwards they would dine and chat several times before Hardy moved on to New York And L.A. Long story short, my dad did Oliver a small favor one evening which Hardy apparently never forget. After he moved, he would write on occasion I think there were about 20 letters total and a couple of photos, including one of him and Stanley from one of their movies. All of this was long before I came along as I was from my dad's 2nd marriage, and he was approaching 60 when I was born. Mom was 20 years younger. As far as I know they never met again. I've no idea what happened to the letters and photos, but these are nice memories from my dad.

[@marcdelente2456]

Formidable passionné de mes idoles Stan et Ollie sur les lieux de tournages de leurs films de courts muets et Parlants très émouvant. Good Bless you good bye.

[@caroltenge5147]

Just loved this. Immense work finding, putting in then and now pictures, and reference clips of the actual films. Enjoyed it very much.

[@050572robert]

The Finishing touch was split on two locations. The hospital with them opposite, I forget where now was the other where the house they were building was, i did find it on google but it was area at the time allocated for great development so now its packed with houses.

[@johnmulvey5121]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@johnfisher9639]

[@waynethomasyorke4457]

Loved this! Fantastic job explaining what was where then and now.

[@doekelehaagsma2851]

Thanks for your research and all your work to post this! I am a fan of Laurel and Hardy as long as I can remember. It's great that almost a hundred years later, the world still hasn't stopped laughing at their brilliant work. More countries should show their work on tv like Italy.

[@user-rc1xj9wr6h]

You Rock man! Love this sort of history!!

[@user-ll2yj3hy4c]

Great presentation!

[@markalford1]

fantastic to watch

[@SuperVoxman]

Stan and Ollie in real life , were very kind and genltle people , thank goodness that their magic still lives on and on !

[@KevinS702]

As great as Stan Laurel was, he needed Oliver Hardy, as a partner, as much as he needed him, as a friend!. Together, they are legends of comedy

[@johnwalters4792]

Stan from Lancashire 😁

[@dianeo]

Wonderful! So fun to see the film locations, especially the places that haven't changed much. Thanks for doing this!

[@ricklabadie172]

Loved this one

[@jaylloyd7246]

So so good amazing well done

[@anthonyfrew1571]

Older folk still talk about Stan and Oille coming to Belfast in Ireland in the early 1950s - they had time for everyone - they took a walk around the city center and chatted with all the children and grown up's - they remain well-loved - unlike some - they were just as happy talking to ladies and gentlemen working as extras on their films as rushing off to spend time with other big names - pure class as performers and considered gentlemen and that's as good a title as one should hope for

[@olblueeyes1915]

Great video. Thanks for making it. Best wishes from the Netherlands

[@ChuckJansenII]

Nice tour from a time When Comedy Was King. One missing from the tour was the stairs from The Music Box. I wonder if the location for the great pie fight from Battle of the Century is known. Fun fact about Battle of the Century. A young actor was in California trying to get into films. He had a few appearances but mostly as uncredited extra. He appeared in the fight sequence from Battle of the Century right behind Stan and Ollie's corner. Shortly after the actor went back East. He met his future partner for his own famous comedy team on the way back. The extra? Lou Costello. Not much detail, but you can still tell it is him by the physical moves he does. Just a little trivia of how Abbott and Costello came to be. It is amazing that so many buildings a the same as they were almost a hundred years ago.

[@37view37]

Awesome Costello share! Thanks.

[@brianbissenden4509]

I found the stairs from the musical box in the early 80's. Took a photo and had to wait to get it developed before I could see if I was right.

[@ChuckJansenII]

@@brianbissenden4509 Very cool. Just saw someone doing a biography on a Japanese guitarist in Band-Maid. They can be quite funny at times in their show. The guy making the video compared them to Laurel & Hardy and Abbott & Costello.

[@noncongruentismortis]

Это очень трогательно, мило, и одновременно грустно, что всё подругому и наши ребята Stan and Ollie...Эх. В такиие моменты ещё больше понимаешь, что ничто ни вечно. Thak you for video.

[@nigelallwright194]

i love them so its great to see were they filmed

[@37view37]

Sincerely to Bob Satterfield/Ross Owen/and Matt Holt: God bless you guys for this well done video. Just last week I said to my youngest son when we were in Hollywood on unrelated business that I desire to hunt down the L&H filming sites soon! Your video was a wonderful surprise. I noted immediately that you introduced the “2nd most” inquired-of filming site at the beginning. After a few minutes I FFWD’d only to discover that what HAS to be the #1, The Music Box steps, was not in here but its location is teased delightfully at the end of this video so I expect you guys will be filming a longer segment on that in the future. I was thrilled that you used what is my most cherished Hollywood tome, Laurel and Hardy, by McCabe, et. al. Like others commented, I introduced my sons to L$H and will God willing do so for my first grandson when he’s ready. Back in the late ‘70’s a best friend and I joined the Sons of the Desert as teenagers. These two gentlemen (especially Stan) have shaped my comedy stylings and I love kidding around so I get to emulate them both a lot. I cannot tell you how overjoyed I am that this showed up on my YT recommendations today! Great work.

[@aserzulu]

Great work great video

[@skipstewart9376]

Thank you for taking the time and putting all this effort in for us to see that movie history still exists

[@bessofhardwick9311]

Fascinating! Thanks!

[@ROCKINGMAN]

Man walks by at 0:59 with bowler hat....L & H are great! So were many of their co stars. Even when L & H went into those more sophisticated films in the 40's, they left us with many great laughs.

[@SpoonJarFilms]

That’s the filmmaker Matt who shot and edited it 😅

[@mikehudson8884]

This was so interesting. Thanks very much...

[@nigelfranklin3845]

Brilliant, really enjoyed watching this. Very interesting. Thank you.

[@terencetuttle2210]

Excellent! I appreciate your research! Its remarkable how Laurel and Hardy transcend generations and it is also impressive that many of the film locations are still recognizable. Thanks for making this video!

Great presentation! The chat with the locals is great! I was kinda hoping to see The Music Box steps! Maybe next time?

[@timsherwood4101]

the greatest comedians ever

[@zebraradio1610]

Great location scouting! I've been to the Music Box Steps and the Perfect Day house on Vera Ave. Both are Meccas for L&H fans. Would love to see the location where they filmed Towed in a Hole. I'm sure it has changed. "Fresh Fish!"

[@JSB1882]

This is like 20th century archeology. So interesting!

Cool or what.

[@chiefstandard8mmuk591]

Amazing how a lot of the places still look the same. I have always been a fan of the boys, collecting 8mm films since I was a kid in the seventies. Have you published a book or guide that I can buy?

[@markkalfahs1047]

...any plans to view the staircase from The Music Box?...thanks for the tour!...

[@EdWeibe]

bravo. Great work Sir. So I guess Culver City was their goto set ?

[@josephsoto9933]

The white building at 26:24....you say it's at West 48th Street and 2nd Street. You misspoke. It's at W 48th St and 2nd Avenue. I use to live at 43rd Place and Western.

[@Herbparis2001]

Love Stan and Ollie they was the best then Morecambe and Wish a close second. I actually named my two kittens Stanley and Oliver after them been one of these biggest fans. Both kittens have taken on their profiles as Stanley is the thin one and Oliver is the fat one. .😹😹

You mean the house was already built in 1928?
