The film was marred by several problems including casting / communication issues, illness and script problems. Despite all of this there are some genuinely funny scenes between the two comedy legends. It’s their very last film ending a magnificent career and therefore holds a significant place in their career and the hearts of their fans. For this reason alone it’s a must see! Laurel and Hardy continue to endure as one of the all-time great comedy teams. Their work spans from the latter days of the silent film era all the way up through to the early 1950s. Beloved comic icons for generations, most of their work has been and continues to be preserved for all to see. Fresh to the Blu-ray format, Laurel and Hardy: The Definitive Restorations gathers together 21 shorts and 2 features in the best possible quality with a bevy of bonus features.

This is one of comedy’s great origin stories. Way Out West Galleries (1080p): Portrait Stills ( 5:58), Scene Stills (6:12), Candid Stills (5:31), Pressbook Articles and Artwork (7:43), Poster and Lobby Card Artwork (5:01), Original 1913 Sheet Music (2:47), Script and Synopsis (7:42), and Dialogue Continuity, Cues and Letters (4:02) Very few of the silent films of Laurel and Hardy’s negatives survive, and the available elements scattered throughout the world are always mediocre or unwatchable. It took three years to gather all the surviving prints of these shorts, compare them shot by shot and give them the best digital restoration possible. Today, these invisible films look as young as they did 95 years ago. A world premiere for all the Laurel and Hardy fans.

That said, while there's definitely still age related My father introduced me to this comedy duo when I was growing up, focused mostly on their collection of shorts. As I got older, I began to seek out their feature-length movies, but found that, at least to me, the team worked best in the two-reel shorts (of which they made nearly 100 of), with The Music Box being their masterpiece, a simple story of two men hired to deliver a piano up a long flight of stairs in which nothing goes as planned. transfers in a variety of aspect ratios hovering around Academy Ratio.

Liz’s response: “What’s so bad about Laurel and Hardy?” You are probably aware by now that I’m a big Laurel and Hardy and my dream is to see all of the films fully restored and released on to Blu-ray.
