This scene encapsulates so many things. You feel the love these two men had for each other. You feel the genius of their art. You feel the warmth of their performance. You feel the class they had. But most of all, you feel happy.
Very well said. They really did love each other and that was a constant throughout thier entire careers and indeed thier entire lives. You really can see it and feel it in this scene especially. And how about props to all the "extras" through the years who had to keep a straight face for the cameras while these scenes are being filmed!....I mean, you've got these two goofs carrying on right in front of you....the scenes ruined if you bust out laughing.....yeesh...No Pressure! Can you imagine the number of outtakes over the years? Yeah, actors are professionals but come on...they're human. If you look closely you can sort of see it start but the actor recovers thier composure....if it was subtle enough they keep it in... (Flying Dueces comes to mind)
*"You feel the love these two men had for each other."* i was gonna say that, but you beat me to it. the obvious delight they took in performing together reveals their genuine affection for each other. it was the source of their magic. KEvron
The ending of the new Stan & Ollie film almost brought me to tears. Despite Ollie's deteriorating health they manage to perform this routine one last time, it's simply one of the sweetest, warmest moments I've seen on screen. The music combined with the way the camera captures their shadows and silhouettes, oh, it's just really beautiful. Please, fans of L&H go and watch it, you won't be disappointed.
I totally agree! That was such a moving scene, it really brought a tear to my eye. Then at the very end when we see the real Stan and Ollie I had tears down my cheeks! Glancing around the cinema, I wasn't the only one 💜
This is, indisputably, one of the most transcendent scenes in the history of cinema. For me, this is as close to artistic perfection as anything I’ve ever experienced. Because of what they did and when they did it, Laurel and Hardy, to me, are still the greatest comedy duo of all time.
Absolutely spot on and especially considering this was still in the early days of cinema. They were masters of their craft and these little scene is crammed with examples of their genius.
I never really got into them when I was younger. My dad liked The Three Stooges and Jerry Lewis. I grew to like Abbott and Costello, but I respect Laurel and Hardy and the Marx Brothers since they somewhat started this genre. I wish their movies were easily available. I’d love to sit and watch them.
@@onenationunderhatz4177 but the 3 stooges comedy was nothing but slapstick. Stan and Ollie actually relied on both slapstick and intelligent oral humour.
I think Morecambe and Wise came close. I recall TV execs didn't like the idea of them sharing a bed and then someone mentioned that if it worked for Laurel and Hardy then it could work for them
Watching them dance makes you feel the way one reacts to a baby's smile.. the baby's laugh is so pure and filled with joy you can't help but smile yourself...this little dance fills me with the same happy yet wistful emotion
Best comedians in the history of mankind. I sometimes get hated on for liking certain things. I’m 11 and I love watching Laurel and Hardy. They are absolutely phenomenal. RIP Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. I always go back to watch your movies whenever I feel down. Thank you for everything.
@@martha2029: I'm thrilled you're thrilled....as YOUR post meant so much to me & I suspect LOTS of other Old Folks Like ME! Tell your parents they are doing a GREAT job! :)
Mr. Hardy loved dancing, and despaired of heavy people gracelessly plodding, whether while dancing or any other time in life. His basic thought on the matter was, "If I can do this, why can't they?" And it wasn't just his dancing - look at how he walks and moves in the rest of his film work. He was a determinedly graceful man.
The 130 people who put thumbs down on this video are aesthetically impoverished - without the slightest doubt. They haven’t even faintest glimmering of an idea about why this scene is transcendent. I feel nothing but pity for them. To be so terribly devoid of artistic appreciation must be a dull existence, indeed.
Ignorant people can't see beyond their own ignorance the frustrating circle of people trapped in their own ignorant lack of perspective.. They only see what they think is right and don't have the perspective to see different ideals
@@bmack7762 I sure hope so, but I wouldn't count on it. I don't know anyone under 40 who has any interest old black and white movies. They automatically see it as something so archaic that they can't relate to it and find it boring. It's very sad what younger people find funny today. Good luck with YOUR offspring though:-)
David Miller David,my friend,they are not forgotten. I only loved Laurel & Hardy and the Marx Brothers. If you noticed, the blues brothers stole a couple of their moves. No hate, just proud of a tribute to L&H
I can still hear my old Dad howling at the top of his lungs when these two were on the telly.....especially when a brick landed on Ollies head or he tripped and went crashing through some door or other......you always knew what was coming but that's what made it so fantastically hysterical.....JUST BRILLIANT!!!
I’d never heard of them before the movie about them came out recently, and thank god it did. What amazing people. Just 2 guys who’s biggest passion was putting a smile on people’s faces.
2 absolute legends, best comedians to ever exist love this scene especially, Way out West was a hilarious film and I'm so sad they're no longer with us. Laurel and Hardy will be laughed at for further generations to come, best comedians ever. What geniuses they were💝💝💝
Rusty Dog The best comedy duo in film, I agree. Morcambe and Wise were the best on TV but they never managed to transfer their skill to the films they made.
whenever you feel deeply sad, the world is going crazy, we are in the middle of an epidemic and what will happen next - watch this and you will have a smill on your face for a few minutes.... Bless these two. They were magnificent.
Stan and Ollie speak for themselves. The band and Music were perfectly cast. Stan no doubt. The old guy on the rocking chair cracks me up. I thought he was gonna stand up and join Stan and Ollie. Such an Iconic Movie scene. Still nobody has surpassed them
Just watched the film Stan and Ollie, tragic they died practically broke, but money can’t buy the love they had for each other and for their art of comedy, genius and timeless, RIP legends !!
What I love about these guys is their love and respect for each other mirrors the love and respect England and America has for each other. Two men from two different continents, one British and one American.
Watched Stan and Ollie on opening night the other day and I won't be able to watch this scene / hear this song without thinking of one very moving scene from the film! I grew up watching Laurel and Hardy thanks to my parents and I'm glad a new generation might be able to discover them thanks to the new film.
The greatest comedy duo to ever inhabit our planet - they are totally timeless, and will never, ever be bettered - they are without a doubt the complete package - a pair of geniuses that with will live on for ever
Simply the best and to think that Stan Laurel was not only in the phone book he would happily accept calls from his fans. Can’t imagine many of today’s so called celebrities doing the same.
Idon't think any other comedic double act married so well as Stan and Ollie. There are other greats but they pale when compared to them. I don't know what it is about them - other than the shear brilliance of their timing, the expressions. the movement. They moved seamlessley from silent to audio work, in fact their voices also seam perfect for their act. They have brought many hours of pleasure and laughter in my life.
Does not much better than this, have watched this for years and never fails to make me happy.Stan is a naturally good dancer but Oliver also had music in his veins . True talent happening here, maybe a good idea to show them to young ones at school ..
PRICELESS ! Who can possibly be their "equal" today in comedy talent ? Stan and Oliver's physical comedy, timing, facial expressiveness, and routines, WHICH THEY COMPOSED THEMSELVES IN A SCRIPT, will never be duplicated. They were truly Grandmasters of comedy !
I have a still from this movie in my hallway and I smile as I pass it everyday, Stan's sister kept a pub in Bottesford, Notts and they both came on a visit during their UK tour during the early 1950s. Everyone in nearby Nottingham went wild to see them. Two wonderful stars who have no equal in my view!
@ Chris. Correct, but the plaque on The Bull is wrong. It says they stayed there in '52, when Stan was sunning himself in California. They stayed there just before Christmas in 1953. There 's a great 4-part website on this part of the Laurel and Hardy story. users.tinyworld.co.uk/dtomlinson/BARKSTON4.htm
The affection for Laurel and Hardy here is so heartwarming, reading these comments and knowing how much their performances meant and mean to so many different kinds of people. I have always loved them and their comedy is timeless, their duo matchless and after all this time, they are still making people smile and laugh and cry and that is extraordinary. Charming scene, wonderful pair and I hope they somehow know how much we treasure them and what they gave and shared with the world, a pure gift making it better whilst you're watching. Even more poignant watching this after seeing the beautifully crafted Stan and Ollie film
misshobbity Well said. The amazing thing is that, as well as being so loveable, they are still genuinely hilarious without any allowances needing to be made for how old their films are.
I would love to be transported back in time to see this. I see myself sitting behind the camera in a old wood folding chair with Hal Roach Studios stenciled on the backside and just enjoying the masters do their magic!
Never realized till now that it's the great character actor " CHILL WILLS " doing the main singing here. Great performances all around. Loves me some Laurel and Hardy.
Thank you for uploading this part of the film. Beautifully sung and a pleasure to watch. As some others have said, these two were legends and still are. These two knock spots of any of the so called reality stars we have today. PC. 31. 03. 2018.
my dad liked them a lot ( me too), even with his alzheimer he still enjoyed it a lot, that never got out of his mind, so i played this on his ceremony after he died
Wholeheartedly. Tinged with nostalgia from seeing it as a child. The same feeling as seeing "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" clip. A pair of gentle men.
Rackinfrackin - Brilliant comment with which I completely agree. I think the poignancy comes from the way their affection for each other somehow comes across so clearly as they dance. Not a SECOND out of place !
I agree. To me, this dance scene is transcendent. It is the purest form of cinematic genius. You can look at it until the end of time and you will never see technique. The only thing to experience here is pure artistry. I love this scene. I love it so much.
I love the Boys. The best comedians ever. So minimalistic, a coat, a pair of trousers whit patches, a hat! Genius! But it is What they do, which means everything Sink in to it...follow....and laugh until you die.
I watch this show 200 times because it was best show in Hollywood those two are so legendary I got the hat their wear I love it to know I love it in past
Whimsical and poignant! The music overtakes them and they start dancing like a romantic couple would. To me, that’s what makes it funny and sweet! They’re both don’t have a woman to dance with so they make the best of it. Hilarious! And they actually have good dance moves and timing. They achieved immortality as far as I’m concerned with their physical slapstick comedy and timing along with the exasperated looks into the camera. Stans look says: here’s another fine mess you got me into and Laurels bawling like a baby when things go wrong just get me every time. What else can you do? I have to laugh to stop from crying because of the situations they get into. Things go bad and all you can do is laugh! They are the original comic duo and team! God bless them both for making me laugh so hard and for being so whimsical and light throughout their careers.
This scene encapsulates so many things. You feel the love these two men had for each other. You feel the genius of their art. You feel the warmth of their performance. You feel the class they had. But most of all, you feel happy.

I did...and it's exactly as you said...Wonderful film. At times I actually thought I was watching the real Laurel & Hardy.
I think that i m the biggest fan of L&H!!!!!!Love them miss them watch them FOR EVER😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢(love from Greece)❤❤❤❤
there was too much forced drama and i could never see and hear steve coogan as anyone other than alan partridge. but it's alright as films go
Totally agree stan and Ollie is a fantastic tribute to two great comidiens and two great freinds great film and well acted perfect tribute

100% right . No matter how many times I've seen this it always reduces me to tears 😭 ( of joy of course )
No comedy duo will ever be good enough to come even close to this.Its so funny but pulls on my heartstrings too.
The Three stooges was a classic as well one of the best
I never really got into them when I was younger. My dad liked The Three Stooges and Jerry Lewis. I grew to like Abbott and Costello, but I respect Laurel and Hardy and the Marx Brothers since they somewhat started this genre. I wish their movies were easily available.

andrewd6830 , I cry with The Sad loss of pure talent. 😪😢
@@onenationunderhatz4177 but the 3 stooges comedy was nothing but slapstick. Stan and Ollie actually relied on both slapstick and intelligent oral humour.
Morecambe and wise are my personal favourites
nobody will ever reach their level.... r.i.p. dear Stan and Ollie !
that is so true
Francesco Bernardi Dick und. Dog in Bayern
I think Morecambe and Wise came close. I recall TV execs didn't like the idea of them sharing a bed and then someone mentioned that if it worked for Laurel and Hardy then it could work for them

Nothing will ever come close to these two. Ever.

For a big man, Ollie was very light on his feet.

And it wasn't just his dancing - look at how he walks and moves in the rest of his film work. He was a determinedly graceful man.
A man of ample girth
I agree .almost unnaturally so 🤔☺️ like he body is filled with helium 😳
Mama always told me larger people are the best dancers. I've found that to be true.
He sure was

Thos days are not gone. It depends on how one lives their existence.

I'm 25 I just discovered them and I will not ever forget them
This is one of the most transcendent scenes in all of cinematic history to me. Sheer delight!
You just know when Ollie tilts his hat over his brow he's about to launch us into entertainment nirvana.
That's theeee moment brother !!
Good observation. Just got to love it.
Wtf are you guys talking about lol. This stupid little dance got you to fucking nirvana? How boring is your life!?

One of the best scenes in any film made. Genius. Music was great too.
Ellycat totally agree
A lifetime before the invention of autotune! This is how it’s done.
makes me smile every time...the music is fantastic and as for the dance....utterly joyful....
Wait until their Stan and Ollie film the dance was fantastic the greatest dance in any film was recreated and portrayed fantastically well
@@Jamesbondfan-vg9qs yes , i watched it....they remade it really well...
Im 26 and i used to watch these movies when i was 6-7 with my father. Fond memories❤️
Don’t think anything has ever made me cry and laugh simultaneously like this - wonderful.
An iconic scene with the best comedy duo ever to draw breath.
Rusty Dog The best comedy duo in film, I agree. Morcambe and Wise were the best on TV but they never managed to transfer their skill to the films they made.
My dad's favourite! Sadly lost my dad last month after 10 years living with Alzheimer's but watching this clip reminds me of happier times.
Perfect, simply perfect. I love how elegant Ollie is, and in ALL L&H films I love watching the beautiful daintiness of his hand movements.

Oh yes, they certainly did.
Keep coming back to this great old masterpeice.
Glorious! And beautifully recreated by Steve Coogan and John C Reilly. Excellent film that was, thoroughly recommended
Theirs was a beautiful tribute of a movie. So beautiful.
I left the theater thinking "Stan and Laurel" should win Best Picture. Then it just vanished. What happened?
The best double act of all time. Incomparable.
The greatest comedy duo to ever inhabit our planet - they are totally timeless, and will never, ever be bettered - they are without a doubt the complete package - a pair of geniuses that with will live on for ever
Greater than the world's finest ballet!!!
Classic - nothing ever will beat these pair.
A timeless piece of cinematography, without doubt the best comedy duo
Brilliant timeless comedy, from the genius that is Laurel and hardy
One of my favorite sequences with the boys.
Enchanting! My late father once told me never to trust anybody who said that they didn't like Laurel&Hardy. What a pair of comedy greats they were.
Such unbelievable chemistry between two guys who's backgrounds could not have been more different. May the world never forget Laurel and Hardy.
yep never see the likes of them again pure genius no site like today's so called talent
Simply the best and to think that Stan Laurel was not only in the phone book he would happily accept calls from his fans.
Can’t imagine many of today’s so called celebrities doing the same.
Laurel and hardy the best of all time im 32 now im watching since im 4 and there my heros
Might be my all time favorite moment in American film. :D
i never tire of watching this piece of comedy genius by the two masters of mirth
Every single time I watch this video it brings a smile to my face R.I.P L&H You will be missed 👏 🙂
Classic and Wonderful Country Western and the Boys! When America was American.
My Two grandsons absolutely love this as I do
Babe was so light on his feet for a big man with a wonderful singing voice as he shows in the next scene of the film
To think that Oliver Hardy was studying to be a lawyer.
Juliaflo Laws loss....the worlds gain

Greatest Comedy scene in the history of television
I don't see anybody has mentioned it, so I'll add that this scene comes from Laurel & Hardy's absolutely delightful film, "Way Out West".
I have a still from this movie in my hallway and I smile as I pass it everyday, Stan's sister kept a pub in Bottesford, Notts and they both came on a visit during their UK tour during the early 1950s.

Could never get bored with their genius.
Came here after seeing "Stan & Ollie". Man, they did a great job replicating this dance in that movie.
Lovely to see real talent again.

They were Champions... ☺️... 💐💐💐...

I love the Boys. The best comedians ever. So minimalistic, a coat, a pair of trousers whit patches, a hat! Genius! But it is What they do, which means everything Sink in to it...follow....and laugh until you die.

Such a sweet innocent scene. You will never see such talent again.
Nothing compares to L&H.
Love this so much ..even better later in the film they sing" on the trail of the lonesome pine.. ".best L and H movie....
Whimsical and poignant! The music overtakes them and they start dancing like a romantic couple would. To me, that’s what makes it funny and sweet! They’re both don’t have a woman to dance with so they make the best of it. Hilarious! And they actually have good dance moves and timing.
They achieved immortality as far as I’m concerned with their physical slapstick comedy and timing along with the exasperated looks into the camera.
Stans look says: here’s another fine mess you got me into and Laurels bawling like a baby when things go wrong just get me every time. What else can you do? I have to laugh to stop from crying because of the situations they get into. Things go bad and all you can do is laugh!
They are the original comic duo and team! God bless them both for making me laugh so hard and for being so whimsical and light throughout their careers.
