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 .
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!
"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

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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
@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.
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.
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!
@@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!
Took off all the handles ( and the things wot held the candles ) well it did no good , well I never thought it would ..so we had a cup of tea .... etc ...... ( ? ) ........ DAVE™🛑

Good observation!
Is not surreal, is usually! Is the mirror for All The people living in the XXI Century Ape!
........at first i thought it was supposed to be the abominable snowman !
@adrianjohnson7920 Es lo más común en las montañas: dos citadinos, un piano y un gorila. Cuál es el problema.
What the hell are they doing with a piano in the mountains?😂
Looks like the perfect spot to me.
A better question is what's an ape doing up in the swiss mountains
A better question is what's an ape doing in the Swiss mountains😅
"Piano" what about the gorilla 😊
Moving it. What else would any piano mover do with a piano up there?
In the background Mount Quadra and Mount Bident near Moraine Lake in the Canadian Rockies.
nobody cares
Fun fact!
Nice and calm Stan is with his goof ball partner. .
Another priceless Steinway destroyed lol. Brilliant duo, and a crazy Monkey.
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 Oh I knew it wasn't just joking funny movie.
The Music box was the only other L&H film i can think of involving a piano move & it was the only film that won them an Oscar.
It was insane to even think of trying it.
Hardy fell upside down but his hat was on his head, anyway still hattsoff for this best comedy❤
What's even funnier to me is that this is supposed to be set in my home country😂
Надо же такое придумать!!! Здорово!!! В обычной жизни пианино перенести уже и трудно и смешно, а на мостике над пропастью, да ещё с орангутангом😂😂😂😂😂!
Jogn Cage might have written the "song" the piano made as it crashed!😂😂
It's definitely John Cage - they forgot to credit him!
Great comment!
yeah it's him
"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
Einfach genial. ❤
The Music Box was such a big hit it made sense that they’d do another one lol
Classic
Yes, Laurel and Hardy were great!

"Everything AIN'T" just alright."
A long time fan.
British people watching this will be expecting them to say " to me... to you"
I didn't realize that is a British thing.
Chuckle brothers😊
😆..Bye bye , Gorilla ! And piano!😅
IMORTAIS E GENIAIS😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😊😊😊

Very interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
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.
@@johnschreiner3208Atol K was so pathetic. So sad they were desperate for money to stoop to that level of banality.
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.
A piano across there! You have got to be kitten me, too dangerous, don´t look down.
😄 An important reminder that everything was way much easier back in the days!
Timeless..
wie haben die das damals gedreht...?

As Stan called him, Dickie.

Your post clicks for me..

Isn't it great to read about stars who didn't behave like "stars?"
Why didn't they take the service elevator?
Good idea!
Do you know the pianos on my foot you hum it I will play it😂😂😂
Tea mister Shifter?
I Am 91 Yes Those Were The Days - Funny Was FUNNY - Today they have to "Tell You" ! That It Is Funny - God Help Us !
This creativity is missing (This is real acting)
Yes, classic comedy was the best!
O,wow,they,are,crazy
This is another fine mess you’ve gotten us into.
Clean and funny
Mon papa avait ce petit film sur une bobine en 8 mm ; il nous le passait avec son projecteur ; c'était il y a un certain temps....

The communists were really tough on the subversive, pre-revolution pianos ... great comment!
Mind the piano....its very important ❤
