Stan and Ollie

[William Treseder]

Watched it for the 1st time last night. Absolutely brilliant. Reilly and Coogan had them off to a tee.
Quite sad in parts as well.
Don’t think i’ve ever met anyone, of any age, that didn’t find them funny.

Re: Stan and Ollie

I took my dad to see this when the film came out three years ago. So pleased that I did. Dad had seen them live in the 50’s in Birmingham so it may well have been the tour that this film refers to. He said they were terrible. He was a big fan and he was sad that they were well past their best. We both really enjoyed the film.

My dad passed away last February.

I watched it on Friday night. Enjoyable film. I used to love watching them on TV when I was a kid.

Haven't seen it but saw it was on.

They were my late dad's favourites too, along with the Marx Brothers.

Charlie Chaplin had nothing on L&H for me.

Classic comedy.

Re: Stan and Ollie

Apparently being interviewed once Stan Lauel was asked if it was true that when they got paid for a film that he got 60% and Hardy only got 40%.
He said it was and when asked why his reply was, "Because he's stupid." :hehe:

Out of that era, I thought The Marx Brothers we’re head and shoulders above the rest with Groucho being the top dog.

Re: Stan and Ollie

Just watched it, then saw this on the message board. Loved them as a kid is the 60s. John C Reilly is excellent as Hardy

Re: Stan and Ollie

A very sweet film. I was very glad that Herself and I went to see it when it came out. It's not often that I leave a cinema feeling uplifted, but this was one such occasion.
