Many years ago I climbed these steps and cried with joy. That was 1978. No placard yet, as I recall. I love those guys so much. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, or should I say memory stairs🎬🎹🎬🎹❣️
Not sure why in the previous comments people are disgraced by the look of the neighborhood now. I live on the east coast so I've never been there. By the looks of it in the video. The neighborhood looks fine. Thanks for posting.
Same here. I'm 71 yrs old and have seen The Music Box probably 100 times over the years, maybe more. And I still laugh as much now as I did the first time I ever seen it.
so often, we "trash" certain iconic structures, in the name of greedy Progress!...I am now thinking of another, less well-known but iconic site, "The Spider Wall", that is located on private property in the Hollywood Hills...and has limited access. You can see it on a couple of RUclips videos...The history behind it is strange, and fascinating! The wall is slowly falling apart, and the nice pool that fronted it, was somehow removed/filled in, many years ago. You would think that LA would make it a sort of untouchable monument to the past, and try to preserve it! Of course, the property is prime real estate, so some day, that interesting artifact from another time and place, will be obliterated.
I lived on Vendom Street next to those famous stairs back in the year 1970 in the Pink Building shown at 2:19 in this film we had a Neighborhood group called the Silverlake Food Conspiracy to help people in the neighborhood get vegetables and dairy products at a reasonable price ~ Great days ~ Great people ~ Great Neighborhood ~ Those were the days ~ Time marches on ~
my son loved watching the Laurel and Hardy films, his favorites were Hog Wild/County hospital/them their hill/Twice two/Laughing gravy /and yes the music box, 20 years ago they had a marathon and i recorded 6hrs of their videos for him to watch,
Thank you, for this information. My mother in 1933 when she was very young, used the Moto in the last part of the film for her business "Service with a Smile". Thank you, Laurel and Hardy.
If you want to see the set of steps that gave Stan Laurel the idea, the steps are in North Shields north-east England where Stan lived for a long while during his youth, down to the fish quay from an old lighthouse. Easily as long as these. Plaque there too
I'm from Rome and one day I met an American young that didn't know laurel and hardy. I couldn't believe. I said the whole names "Stan laurel and Oliver hardy".
Just bought the L&H box set, watched all the dvd’s and laughed my pants off. So funny!! Filmed nearly 100 years and still the humour is timeless. LA looked so pristine too. Will visit the various filming locations one day. Found the locations of “Barefoot in the park” in NY which is a great city, loved exploring it. Regards from England.
Well Done Sir, I have visited just about every famous site in L.A. - with this exception, many, many thanks for your time and trouble in this production. Brilliant.
I had to go back and watch the Music Box. The area around the staircase sure has changed. Back then, no rails and more empty lots. My favorite part of the film is the professor shouting all his degree letters at Laurel and Hardy. Also when they finally get the piano delivered and do a dance to congratulate themselves! You just know it wouldn't go right for the boys. Another trip back in time. Thank you Clyde!
Check out the light above the garage door at 2.38 and 3.27 minutes on the road , the original house right of the stairs there is still to this day the very same light from the 1931 film. I could not believe it myself. Look at some original footage at the bottom of the steps and the house to the right you will see the very same light as in this video
Can't get enough of the golden age of Hollywood! Never been to US or likely to go now, so much appreciate these vids!! Thank you from lockdown London England 🇬🇧✌🇺🇲
Thank you for this on behalf of my father, Dennis Pritchard, who was a big fan, from 78 Kings Avenue, Bromley, Kent. in turn I watched them, brilliant.
thank you so very much for this video....it is so wonderful to see those steps....you filmed it so perfectly and I so enjoyed everything you said....I adore Laurel & Hardy!
... "he kicked me, right in the middle of my daily duties." ...how did that ever make it past the censors?....Stan and Ollie, whodda thunk that a skinny Englishman and a rotund man from Harlem, Ga. would pair up and form the greatest comedy duo ever....
Dude, great job on that tour. I've seen three other people do it three different times and you did the best one and you seem to know a lot about Laurel and hardy because I'm listening to you. And you're correct and by the way, the other three people look for the house at the top of the steps went really all it was was a prop in a studio
Fantastic. It's truly a classic film. My mother introduced me to Laurel and Hardy in the 60s. I don't know how RUclips recommended this to me. Maybe, spookily, they know I have a degree in Film Studies.
Thank you so much for this, it's like gold to us fans. Noticed you were out of breath even without a piano. no wonder, so many stairs. I'm surprised how narrow it was. Best wishes from England.
Fantastic! Loved watching this. A great reminder of one of the greatest film comedies ever made. Loved the way this video ends: "Goodnight sweet princes..." Thank you.
When I first was looking for a place to rent in L.A. many years back- and before I was familiar with "The Music Box"- I happened to first look at an apartment one or two addresses to the left or right of these steps. The person showing me the place told me how this famous film was made on "one of these steps." The apartment was also not only far up the steps, but you additionally, once inside, had to go up many steps, some twisting, to get up to the apartment. Irony of ironies, already sitting right in the apartment was a Music Box! Yes, an old, upright piano. I just had to smile.
"Stan & Ollie thank you..." yes, but thank YOU Clyde Beck for posting this video because instead of all the fans going to the steps and bothering the residents, we can watch this video and let the residents have their peace. Thanks you sir and it was a great movie, the original 'Music Box'.
Fantastic informative video. I remember first watching the music box when I was a child and still laugh at it today. Thanks for your video best wishes from Liverpool uk.
I watched this sitting down on my couch and got all out of breath. These stairs invite comedy. Thank you for climbing to the top for all those who cannot visit the place.
Thankyou for that video I was only watching that film the other day, absolute legends and have given me so many laughs over the years, even going through a bad devorce I watched there films to cheer me up..
Thanks for sharing the marvelous history. I love the world famous two characters. Never going find another characters like Laural n Hardy again. The producer at the time is such a genius.
This doco is great. You must exhausted. Nowadays piano removalists count the steps and charge accordingly (but they would get the address right). Isn't it good that Stan & Ollie persist even when they are screwing up. We love them for that because we've all done it. Thank you for making this & showing how that place is today.
Thank you for giving people this. I had never seen the original film until today after learning about it in an article about the upcoming film "Stan and Ollie" and was interested in these steps because I have seen a similar bit in other films. Thanks again.
Thank you for this, very interesting. It is a tribute to them as each time you mentioned a scene from the movie you would laugh. Actually the area still has a flavor of the past about it. Stan and Ollie were a joy and true comedic royalty. They are truly missed and made the world a better place.
Great video and sooooo good. I grew up and laurel & hardy and 100 years later their genius is still brilliant. In your video I like many then went to watch music box and compare the videos/pictures. I see the house on the right at the bottom of the stairs, a line of red roof tiles (maybe it’s a gutter)? Is still there.
Thank you sir, that was very interesting to see, and filmed in a way that made me feel I was exploring those steps myself. There is definitely a time warp sense of bygone days on those steps, you’d almost expect to turn around and see Stan and Ollie struggling with that boxed instrument.
Let's be clear, the actual house they deliver the piano to in the film was in a studio, not actually at this outdoor location. It's kind of obvious when you watch the film.
My favourite Laurel and Hardy short and it has been for over fifty years. Thanks Stan and Oliver and god bless you...
Many years ago I climbed these steps and cried with joy. That was 1978. No placard yet, as I recall. I love those guys so much.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane, or should I say memory stairs🎬🎹🎬🎹❣️
Lucky you didn't get caught up in the drug wars :p
I did the same, early 70's. They were and still are the greatest
Oh my gosh. Luckyyy
This is unforgettable, eternal as long as humans are in this world of ours.
Not sure why in the previous comments people are disgraced by the look of the neighborhood now. I live on the east coast so I've never been there. By the looks of it in the video. The neighborhood looks fine. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for your work great job 👏 bravo 👏 bravo 👏
Excellent !!! Thank you.
Laurel and Hardy, Pal's of my childhood days.....im still laughing! Thanks for making this. From a British fan.
Same here. I'm 71 yrs old and have seen The Music Box probably 100 times over the years, maybe more. And I still laugh as much now as I did the first time I ever seen it.
Haha! I was born in the 21century and love it. I appreciate such pure innocent comedy. From an American fan😂
Pals....
Great video thank you for sharing
Really enjoyed this. Thank you.
These steps are a part of American History they should be protected and cared for .Thank you for the great video .

I like when the horse looks at Ollie, then he moves forward and the Piano falls on Ollie's back......priceless........
I lived on Vendom Street next to those famous stairs back in the year 1970 in the Pink Building shown at 2:19 in this film we had a Neighborhood group called the Silverlake Food Conspiracy to help people in the neighborhood get vegetables and dairy products at a reasonable price ~ Great days ~ Great people ~ Great Neighborhood ~ Those were the days ~ Time marches on ~
Who on earth would thumbs down this? This is amazing, those very same steps! Brilliant!
Imagine standing where they stood. That’s pretty cool.
my son loved watching the Laurel and Hardy films, his favorites were Hog Wild/County hospital/them their hill/Twice two/Laughing gravy /and yes the music box, 20 years ago they had a marathon and i recorded 6hrs of their videos for him to watch,
Ray Bradbury wrote a story: "Another Fine Mess" where residents hear the ghosts of Stan and Ollie giving a last performance on these stairs...
Just watched it again and wondered where those steps were and thanks to you now I know
wow...............love the movie, one of, if not there funniest scene,,, thanx for the video
Excelente Nota...Laurerl and Hardy the Best... Bernardo Saldana-Hartford, Ct. USA Agosto 27-2020
Thank You!!!
Thank you very much from Italy Rome, things change but j am still laughing . . . 🤣🤣🤣 GREAT !!!
I watched the movie hats off several time i am sure why you could not find it to watch it
Thank you, for this information. My mother in 1933 when she was very young, used the Moto in the last part of the film for her business "Service with a Smile". Thank you, Laurel and Hardy.
The little park across the street is called Laurel and Hardy Park. Every year in October they have a Laurel and Hardy festival there.
Thanks for this . Me and my husband both fans of laurel and Hardy

Nostalgia and memories warm the heart,...and the wonderful Laurel & Hardy brought so much joy and light to so many....and still do to this day
Well Done Sir, I have visited just about every famous site in L.A. - with this exception, many, many thanks for your time and trouble in this production. Brilliant.
Thanks for sharing ❤
A master piece commedy by laurel and Hardy
‘He doesn’t want me, he wants the other monkey!’ LOL 😂
did he kick you in the middle of your daily duties
???
“Of all the dumb things!”
*Clonk*
“NOW LET THAT BE A LESSON TO YA!!!”

"Yes! Right in the middle of my daily duties!"
Can't get enough of the golden age of Hollywood! Never been to US or likely to go now, so much appreciate these vids!!
Thank you from lockdown London England 🇬🇧✌🇺🇲
If I ever go to LA this is the most desired place for me to see
If ever I feel down or in need of cheering up abit , Laurel & Hardy are guaranteed to make me smile and laughing again...... Comedy Legends
Thank you for this on behalf of my father, Dennis Pritchard, who was a big fan, from 78 Kings Avenue, Bromley, Kent. in turn I watched them, brilliant.
I just watched it last night. I thought 'wonder what it looks like now?'
Then your vid came up tonight lol. Many thanks 👍
The place Stan kicked the nurse in the middle of her daily duties......
When i was young you missed this when i watched it later on in life it made the movie even funnier.
Haha. 'Hey.' *Whistles 'Hey Ollie.
'What?'
I 'hear someone in the house.'
'Well that was me stupid.'
'How did you get in the house?'
‘Oh he kicked you did he?’ 😂😂😂♥️😢
thank you so very much for this video....it is so wonderful to see those steps....you filmed it so perfectly and I so enjoyed everything you said....I adore Laurel & Hardy!
... "he kicked me, right in the middle of my daily duties." ...how did that ever make it past the censors?....Stan and Ollie, whodda thunk that a skinny Englishman and a rotund man from Harlem, Ga. would pair up and form the greatest comedy duo ever....
Yeah ngl, I'm actually shocked that didn't cause an uproar haha!

I would have loved to show my late father this. We are such big fans. Have you been to the UK and the L & H museum in Ulverston Cumbria.
Thank you Love from Scotland
Brilliant video Clyde, thank you... just about to watch it again,, 👍
Fantastic. It's truly a classic film. My mother introduced me to Laurel and Hardy in the 60s. I don't know how RUclips recommended this to me. Maybe, spookily, they know I have a degree in Film Studies.
Thanks for posting ! A long time Laurel and Hardy fan. Always wondered about those famous steps. Some day I hope to pay a visit to this spot!
Bob Satterfield does guided tours of all the Laurel and Hardy movie locations.
Thank you for your short documentary, L & H the music box. Ireland Fan. Cheers 👍👍👍
That film continues to make me laugh anytime I watch it!!
so am i
Same with me. I laugh so hard, I almost hyperventilate.
Thank you so much for this, it's like gold to us fans. Noticed you were out of breath even without a piano. no wonder, so many stairs. I'm surprised how narrow it was. Best wishes from England.
Fantastic! Loved watching this. A great reminder of one of the greatest film comedies ever made. Loved the way this video ends: "Goodnight sweet princes..." Thank you.
Why did you go all the way up those steps? You could have driven just round the corner and filmed from the top?
*proceeds to walk all the way back down the steps and then drives round to the top*
Fantastic comment😂🤣😂🤣
well done lol
He wanted to take you through his own L&H "Music Box" love-interest narrative, step by step.
:)
😂
Great video Rest In Peace Stan, Oliver and Steve.

Thank you for sharing this I realy enjoyed the information
“Did you fellas carry that piano all the way up these stairs? (Stan and Ollie nod tiresomely.) “You didn’t have to do that.”
Thankyou for that video I was only watching that film the other day, absolute legends and have given me so many laughs over the years, even going through a bad devorce I watched there films to cheer me up..
To be honest...it looked some much nicer in the movie than it does now
Amazing. Nice tour. If we only had more comedians like L & H today. Thanks.
Thank you this is fantastic my neighborhood since 1967 my Dad's just down the street hes watching this now👏👏👏😁❤❤❤glad you're explaining area .
Just watched the Music Box this morning with my 6 year old grandson who also loves it. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks a million! The stars of this movie are Laurel, Hardy, Billy Gilbert, and playing himself The Stairs!!
Thank you for showing us this place! Brilliant film 🎥. Really enjoyed watching this!!!!
Thanks for sharing the marvelous history. I love the world famous two characters. Never going find another characters like Laural n Hardy again. The producer at the time is such a genius.
Thanks for posting this, brings back alot of great memories! Loved all the Laurel and Hardy Films for sure and most definately The Music Box!
You are awesome. Thank you for this video. Kudos, all the way from Ireland.
A masterpiece of comedy!
Wow this is so cool . I live in England and grew up laughing at Stan and Ollie.
Love to see these locations as they are today
Nice tribute! Thank you for taking us there..or as Charlie Hall says; " thar_"
This doco is great. You must exhausted. Nowadays piano removalists count the steps and charge accordingly (but they would get the address right).

Thank you very much for making this!

Nice to see this - classic movie short - Laurel and Hardy are true legends of cinema comedy.
TOP job Clyde.
Thanks a mill for your time,effort and great insight into making this video.👍👍👍
Thank you for giving people this. I had never seen the original film until today after learning about it in an article about the upcoming film "Stan and Ollie" and was interested in these steps because I have seen a similar bit in other films. Thanks again.
Thank you my friend My son is in America at the moment And yes just been to this place Where they filmed it And I thank you for your video
Wow u have so much information
one of my favorite scenes..great to see it how its still there..thanks!
Many thanks for taking the walk and filming .
thank you for making there. I've always thought that the golden age of Hollywood was the 20s and 30s.
Thank you for this, very interesting. It is a tribute to them as each time you mentioned a scene from the movie you would laugh. Actually the area still has a flavor of the past about it. Stan and Ollie were a joy and true comedic royalty. They are truly missed and made the world a better place.

Nice to know this famous stairway is still there where the legendary laurel and hardy trode on.
It would have been strange if the stairway had moved elsewhere. Then again, with the periodic earthquakes in Los Angeles..
thanks for this ...brought a smile
At 2:11, Charlie Hall is delivering the mail!!
Let's be clear, the actual house they deliver the piano to in the film was in a studio, not actually at this outdoor location. It's kind of obvious when you watch the film.
