Laurel & Hardy Reviews
DIGITAL STAN & OLLIE
Somewhere in the world, every minute of every day, someone's laughing at a Laurel and Hardy comedy. That's a pretty good legacy. The best, most beloved comedy team of all time made about 100 films in 25 years. Laurel & Hardy, Volume 1 (Artisan) is a single disc with five digitally re-mastered (e-wash, audio fixes and signal corrections) titles. Included are the feature Sons of the Desert and the "two-reelers" Busy Bodies, County Hospital, Another Fine Mess and the The Music Box (1932 Oscar© winner for Best Comedy Short). Limited bonus material includes biographies and a "Then & Now Location Tour."
Stan Laurel was a genius, it's said he could stand still in front of a night club audience and bring them to screaming hysterics without saying a word. But more than that, the almost mystical on screen relationship of Stan and Ollie, and their genuine off-screen friendship, had at it's roots something about unconditional love in the midst of chaos that still connects.
Highest recommendation.

It's been a long wait for these L&H titles to make it to DVD. Let's hope that this is the first in a long, long series of their restored films on digital discs. Contact Artisan Entertainment in Santa Monica, California.
