Laurel & Hardy's first "talkie"

[@mohan21patnaikpatnaik38]

Laurel and Hardy ease out my tension whenever I watch them.Truly they are the immortal two of the world of comedy.

[@clendenenjames8804]

Even no talking, they still and will remain kings of comedy

[@chrisevans5259]

Born to bring joy and happiness to people.......Laurel and Hardy 🎭

[@peternemeth1777]

The title was misleading but the clip was great. So funny. 😂

[@jeffnationaltrade]

They are one of the few to make it to sound and stay.

[@SpicyHobbit03]

True and many silent films actors/actresses became less popular when talkies started taking over, because their real voice didn't seem to match with how people had imagined their characters to sound like in the silent film era. Laurel and Hardy were perfect

[@fromthesidelines]

Several of their last "silent" shorts were also distributed with "synchronized" music and sound effects, via the Victor "sound-on-disc" method. The first "all-talkie" short was "Unaccustomed As We Are" (1929).

[@eggbertinkabod1121]

SO WOT

[@RayPointerChannel]

@@eggbertinkabod1121 So what? It's the difference between accuracy and misrepresentation. The word "Talkie" means exactly that, synchronized dialogue. This would be more accurately referred to as a "sound film" much like Warner's DON JUAN. It too had synchronized music and sound effects but was NOT a "talkie." That was set afterward by THE JAZZ SINGER, which while a hybrid silent film with synchronized music and sound effects also had talking and singing sequences..

[@Aidenkong523]

@@RayPointerChannel that's what the quotation marks in the title were for.

[@robfriedrich2822]

" The first "all-talkie" short was "Unaccustomed As We Are" (1929)." And this was distributed as talkie and as silent with/without synchronized music, possibly also as talkie with sound on disc

[@fromthesidelines]

Yes, there was a silent version {with more intertitles than usual} with a synchronized music track. I saw it on a VHS cassette years ago.....sound on disc.

[@elmerpintar2782]

This is very funny. How much the sound disc contributes to the great comic build-up that Laurel was always known for.

[@racheln8563]

Sound, yes. “Talkie,” no. This is an example of what the industry referred to as “goat gland” pictures-films with music, sound effects and/or limited dialogue, as opposed to “all-talking.” MGM in particular was very cautious about sound, and tested the waters with films like this.

[@joansmith6092]

Unaccustomed as we Are was originally a silent movie, but was also made with limited sound versions. In 1929, there were only two other movies made that way; Men of War, and the Perfect Day. Years ago, in the 1980s, I only saw, just ONE time, the silent version of Men of War, and I liked it better than the talkie version. It was shown on TV, on channel 28.

[@theresaholguin699]

Love Stan and Ollie ❤🤣❤

[@garyzimmer8061]

L&H first talkies came out around '29. Titles were " Unaccustomed As We Are" and "Berth Marks "

[@philipsilverman4169]

First talkie Unaccustomed as we Are. This may be the first "soundie".

[@elmerpintar2782]

part of the sound clip was reworked (different arrangement) in , I believe, "Berth Marks".. over the opening title cards...

[@SpicyHobbit03]

Regardless of what it is, does anybody know what this particular episode is called? This doesn't look like the full thing, but it is very funny

[@DavidJsmith-dk5tf]

Sound in this was put on later, when cinemas changed over to sound.

[@thescribefiles]

@@DavidJsmith-dk5tf Actually, this was how it was originally released to theatres, in 1928 when the industry was transitioning to sound.

[@rufust.firefly2474]

@@SpicyHobbit03 when a video is only a couple of minutes long and there's no main title at the beginning, you can usually bet that it's not a complete film, but a clip from a longer original.

[@brendanpatterson3929]

Unaccustomed As We Are is the first L & H film with sound in 1929..... They filmed it without sound first and then again when sound finally came

[@GosWardHen98]

Stupud, but magic innocence in conedy. Awesome 😅 How times change.

[@nightstalkerck]

Stan looks kinda cute here.

[@jpwartist]

In many ways these 2 where the first talkie stars. They went from silent movies to talkies with ease, they were naturals. Other silent stars like Chaplin couldn't do it and for them it was the end, the end of an era.

[@4bobbyt]

Not Chaplin . He made one of his best films,CITY LIGHTS and then MODERN TIMES, and THE GREAT DICTATOR. His later films, outside of LIMELIGHT were a bust. He abandoned the tramp character for something more political and "timely" but it really wasn't.

[@rufust.firefly2474]

Kaplan could have but he didn't because he considered the silent film in the art form

[@yacsem]

@@4bobbyt Harold Lloyd was the one who really suffered. His talkies were a disaster.

So it's like Don Juan (1926). Sound effects but no actual dialog. Since dound-on-disc c as an't give exact lip sync. What year did this movie come out? Thanks for posting.

[@celinejohnston3257]

unaccustomed as we are is laurel and hardys first talkie 1929.

[@DavidJsmith-dk5tf]

Yes, the first few in sound must have been recorded onto shellack , 78 rpm. Very noisy, because of the weight of the play back arm. It needed to be heavy. Sound improved later.

[@rufust.firefly2474]

@@DavidJsmith-dk5tf actually the sound on disc soundtracks, although difficult to synchronize, had a wider range and provided far better sound than the sound on film processes at the same time.

[@magdebates2697]

[@pinchopaxtonsgreatestminds9591]

Actually it does sound like Hardy's laugh.

[@osocool1too]

[@rufust.firefly2474]

Because Hal roach didn't have a recording studio yet?

the title is misleading people. this is not their first talkie

[@RayPointerChannel]

People are very "sloppy" and imprecise in their use of language today. It's even in mainstream media. Don't get me started on mispronounced words, or "made-up" words due to limited vocabularies.

[@chrisseguin1495]

People are sloppy at reading the statement below which clearly states: "Well, technically, it's not talking... it's laughing. And it's not them laughing, but somebody else's voices. But this clip from their first sound-on-disc film, "We Faw Down", shows some imaginative early use of sound in a "silent" movie."

[@rhyfelwrDuw]

Chris Seguin - was going to say that too, but you beat me to it! :)

[@rufust.firefly2474]

This is nothing in terms of an accuracy in comparison to some of the videos and how their titled on KZbin. The uploader really made an effort to be clear on this but there are a lot of different terms that were used then and a lot of different terms that are used now that confuse the assignment film with a synchronized soundtrack and sound effects, the park talking silent film with synchronized music and sound effect, the entire synchronized sound film, the sound on disc synchronized sound film, the optical sound film...

[@georgeplagianos6487]

@@chrisseguin1495 that makes sense Chris. It's not a soundtrack on side of the film.. I don't know how they synchronized sound with film. It was like experimentation before they got the film synchronized with sound. It's got to be a lot of Hit and Miss efforts. I know we taking things for granted now but it was a learning experience for the early talkies. We got to appreciate that effort. Thanks for the video

The sound probably would have been added much later. Many silent films were given a soundtrack years after they were first release. So this is not a sound film. Actually, the laughing ruins it.
