The logic of meeting a tropical ape in the alps where two men attempt to move a spinet piano across a swinging bridge over a chasm. Even without Laurel and Hardy, this situation is surreal .

[@JonathanGeffnerPianist]

Good observation!

[@SGr.T-s3s]

Is not surreal, is usually! Is the mirror for All The people living in the XXI Century Ape!

[@tomaxi007]

Wenn man das sieht, wie die beiden uns zum Lachen bringen, bekommt das Leben wieder einen Sinn! Hahahahaha

[@ingridthurner3651]

Надо же такое придумать!!! Здорово!!! В обычной жизни пианино перенести уже и трудно и смешно, а на мостике над пропастью, да ещё с орангутангом😂😂😂😂😂!

"Swiss Miss" - I laughed so much I pissed myself - The Lady - such a good film with Stan trying to trick the St Bernard mountain rescue dog to hand over the brandy

[@guntherirlbeck8631]

What the hell are they doing with a piano in the mountains?😂

[@JonathanGeffnerPianist]

Looks like the perfect spot to me.

A better question is what's an ape doing up in the swiss mountains

The Music Box was such a big hit it made sense that they’d do another one lol

[@johnschreiner3208]

Another touching story after Oliver died Stan was perfectly content to live out his days in his Santa Monica apartment. He could have easily made some cameo appearances. One day a young Dick Van Dyke called (Stan was in the phone book) and asked if he could visit. Sure come on over. Any fly on that wall would've died laughing.

[@JonathanGeffnerPianist]

I read that Stan lived in a very modest apartment in Santa Monica. I wonder if that's all he wanted or if he didn't earn - or save - much money from all those successful films he made?

[@johnschreiner3208]

Probably something to that. Even though they were the funniest people of the 30s, L&H, Marx brothers, and 3 Stooges didn't have much luck with money management.

[@shenysys]

As Stan called him, Dickie.

[@dans9463]

​@JonathanGeffnerPianist Your post clicks for me.. Around the late 60s or early 70s, my friend told me he looked up the phone book and called Stanley who was living in Santa Monica.

[@johnschreiner3208]

Isn't it great to read about stars who didn't behave like "stars?"

[@JohannesC-c9k]

Another priceless Steinway destroyed lol. Brilliant duo, and a crazy Monkey.

[@JonathanGeffnerPianist]

Well, I don't think it was a Steinway, at least. I don't see a brand name but I don't think Steinway ever built such small spinets. Steinway will be relieved that they destroyed a different company's piano!

[@JonathanGeffnerPianist]

Yes, Laurel and Hardy were great!

[@ingridthurner3651]

Einfach genial. ❤

[@johnschreiner3208]

A L&H historian pointed out a scene before this a villain planted a bomb in the piano that would detonate when a specific key was struck, but the scene was deleted in the final cut. All the fumbling on the keys meant nothing.

[@JonathanGeffnerPianist]

Very interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

[@johnschreiner3208]

When the piano crashes it does sound like an explosion (I think). L&H later movies were ruined by producers who knew nothing about comedy.

[@bobbylee2853]

@@johnschreiner3208Atol K was so pathetic. So sad they were desperate for money to stoop to that level of banality.

[@johnschreiner3208]

Yeah they were treated terribly after Hal Roach, who knew to leave the comedy to them. I think they were hoping for a comeback in TV but by then Hardy's health was bad.

Jogn Cage might have written the "song" the piano made as it crashed!😂😂

It's definitely John Cage - they forgot to credit him!

I believe Swiss Miss was one of the film’s discovered in 1945 by the US Army in Hitler’s private collection in his own cinema at his Alpine redoubt, the Berghof. Laurel and Hardy films were probably allowed to be shown in Nazi Germany in the 1930s, since they were not viewed as ‘degenerate’. A lot of American music, particularly jazz, and American movies were however banned in the Germany of the mid and late 1930s. In a book by Patrick Leigh Fermor, the great travel writer and veteran British soldier of WW2, he recounts a trip as a very young man in mid-1930s Germany when he travelled by boat, train and foot to Greece and I think Rumania. In Germany, he managed to get a trip on a barge on the Rhine, the two old-timer sailors steering it giving him a berth, hot food, beer and warmth. At a small town they tied up at, the captain and the other guy took the young Briton to watch a Laurel and Hardy film. Though in the book the name of the feature is not mentioned. I just can’t recall the title of the book of Leigh Fermor’s I read that piece of information in. Anyway, Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, they must have ALL been household names to a degree in continental Europe in the 1930s. Certainly Charlie Chaplin was. If the Silent comics had had universal appeal, and during the Talkies continued that charming outreach to all and sundry, as most notably L&H did, inevitably a load of seriously bad guys would have got entertained as well. Stalin had his own private viewings of Chaplin films. I don’t know if Chaplin features were ever shown to ‘the masses’ in the Soviet Union. I doubt it as they would have gained a positive, rosier view of America. How the self-serving so loved their own creature comforts and cosy entertainments! How tragic life is!

[@JonathanGeffnerPianist]

Fascinating information. Thanks for sharing!

[@lawrencemartin1113]

@@rustshoo5068 You have to wonder if Hitler or Stalin ever watched the Chaplain classic, 'The Great Dictator'. If so, I would have loved to have seen their reactions!

[@JonathanGeffnerPianist]

Good idea!

[@rustshoo5068]

I think Laurel and Hardy managed to smash more pianos than the Communists did in the Cultural Revolution in China during the 1960s. In ‘Way Out West’ they managed to, if memory serves, clatter a horse on top of a grand piano. The Music Box is their most infamous piano-destroying moment - at least they provoked a professor to take an axe to it. There have been a couple of shorts where pianos come a cropper when L&H are close by.

[@JonathanGeffnerPianist]

Good observations!

[@realityAXIS]

The communists were really tough on the subversive, pre-revolution pianos ... great comment!
