Laurel and Hardy in the Hollywood Revue of 1929

That's the best Laurel & Hardy clip on Youtube.

drdee51 - I heard much the same. So glad I can see the boys here without all that awful window dressing.

"Unaccustomed as We Are," "Berth Marks," "Men O' War," "A Perfect Day" and "Hoosegow" all came out the same year. Now I've got to research which was filmed exactly when during that year! My first instinct is to say this clip was not their first. You raise a really interesting idea. What would it have been like if Laurel never spoke? Cannot even imagine it now.

I think that made Ollie's "Shut up!!!" even more hilarious! :D

An interesting curio, to be sure...I'm wondering why they didn't have Stan speak at all, though. Were they toying with making him a Harpo Marx-style pantomime character? Were they afraid his English accent wouldn't wash with U.S. audiences? Some other reason?

Because MGM was releasing Hal Roach's comedy shorts- and Laurel & Hardy were quickly becoming the Roach studio's "star attraction", they were included in the "Hollywood Revue" as well.

A rare treat, many thanks for helping to keep the legends alive

Ollie is hilarious I bet this is the only time L&H and Jack Benny He's a riot too

The Hollywood Revue of 1929 is not a lost film. The film introduced the song Singin' in The Rain. But other than that and the Laurel and Hardy skit, the film is a total dog. I have seen it and it is dreadful.

No. The Jazz Singer was a silent filmn with Vitaphone segments. Its relevance is that it was the first film with brief sound segments that the public accepted. Edison was making sound pictures in 1913.

See for more rare Laurel and Hardy footage, by clicking my channel (klukhuhntje). Video's like the missing rogue scene, their last footage ever in 1956, the water rats in 1955, the tree in a test tube ,
a interview and much, much more!

I think "The Jazz Singer" with Al Jolson was the first sound film..

The only good thing about this movie is Laurel and Hardy..

¡Increíble! Una verdadera joya.

OH MY GOSH!!!! I've been looking for this film FOREVER! Thanks!
