- Опубликовано: 2 фев 2012
- Based on the Neil Brand's critically acclaimed radio play of the same name, this 2006 BBC production follows Stan Laurel's last visit to his dying friend and comedy partner Oliver 'Babe' Hardy and Stan's subsequent coming to terms with the ghosts of his past. Jim Norton plays the elder Laurel, and Trevor Cooper portrays Oliver Hardy. The young Stan and Ollie are played by Nik Howden and Mike Goodenough.
Poor Ollie. Stan who loved his best friend so much that for the years after Ollie's death and before his own Stan never stopped writing for the two of them as if his old friend was still there.
I can't imagine the grief and pain he must have felt knowing he'd not get a laugh from Ollie for his latest works. And not being able to bring them into being like they had done for so long.
10yrs Stan and Ollie spent apart.
And Stan and Ollie are together again. Oh how we can only hope their on a big stage somewhere playing sold out shows and have fans rolling in the Isles.
The world of comedy just isn't right now.
We all miss you Stan and Ollie.
Save a seat for me someday.
And me
Damn.. can't stop crying.. such a beautiful respectful tribute to one of the best comedy duos in history
+Daisy Chambers You are so very right! And I am not ashamed of my tears! Thank you, Mr. Hardy! Thank you Mr. Laurel! And thank you for this beautiful movie!
+Walter-Jörg Langbein I'm not either. They were beauty in human form.
+Darth Glenamus What is confirmed?
They brought lite to darkness Stan passed the year I was born Stan and Ollie movie and this short film touched my heart young and now and so many people about life's trial's and tribulations idiosyncrasies ,lighter sides,😊🤙✌️😔...
Two giants of comedy. How far we have sunk since the times of L & H, Chaplin, Keaton.The world today would be a much better place if Stan and Ollie were around.
The 20s through the 50s had so many comedy greats...these two, Abbott & Costello, The Three Stooges, and so many others. The next surge of comedy greats came in the late 70s-early 80s with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, the Belushi Brothers, etc. Each group had their own styles, and all will be remembered for what made them who they were.
The world has progressed so far but it has learned nothing from the past and indeed is a more hostile and selfish place now and as you so rightly say, has morally sunk, probably too low for any chance of saving. I have just been watching a couple of Stan and Ollie's films and have been both laughing and crying. Our last, great "clown" Norman Wisdom marked the end of wonderful era of good, clean and funny comedy acting.
I'm bringing it back
That scene when Stan finally gets Ollie's tie twiddle gesture and both burst into laughter was thoroughly beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
You guys surely are missed. But at least we still have some of your best moments in the can.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Laurel & Mr. Hardy.
I agree, how absolutely fitting too, great scene
I think they are still alive
Stan released him from his prison with his recognition of his love for his partner in life ...
Great drama is something that makes you laugh and cry at the same time.
Yeah it’s beautiful 🫶
I've never weeped and cried through a movie such as this, so heart breaking and wonderful at the same time
Two words come to mind whenever I see Laurel & Hardy, class and genius.
Jocelyn Carter: I'm glad they stayed friends at the end of Ollie's life. RIP Ollie and Stan.
I was in Japan about 26 years ago and they were playing Laurel and Hardy Films in a Pizza Joint. Loved and missed all over the World.
Both Laurel and Hardy are in heaven young and full of life again and probably making everybody laugh ❤❤❤
The greatest comedy duo ever to grace the silver screen.
AMEN...
me: this is easy this won't make me cry
stan: "oh don't go babe!"
me: dissolves in a puddle of tears
As an actor myself I have to say their comedy timing was spot on and their films are timeless. Chaplin, Keaton and Stan and Ollie were the pioneers.
Include Charley Chase to that list too
Mario Cisneros and Lloyd.
Also the three stooges were good
Although I did not understand English, I nevertheless watched with the utmost attention the four parts of this biopic and I still regaled because the play of the actors there is amazing. . By turns comical, tender and moving I had a great time. The unfailing friendship of one for the other until his last day and I am certain that when babe went away stanley thought to lose a brother. . We have a couple of legends for all generations. . Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy for eternity. . A French fan. .
I loved it when it came out and relived the joy here again..thanks...two unforgettable gentlemen of comedy...........
Why are Stan and Ollie so loved? Unlike other comedy teams they lived separate lives and did not engage in petty arguments. There was also no battle of egos either. Ollie always acknowledged Stan's writing and had total respect for him.
I think everyone would love to have them for uncles.
John Greene But why,another comedy teams werent living separately?How did u mean it?
You just answered your own question why they are so loved

Their characters lived in a simpler time, and their scenes were set with simple housing and simple cars, and where they had simple, ordinary jobs to play their simple (and hilarious) comedy. Those days a long gone.
There is a lot of L&H TV footage from their later years on YT. I'm glad I happened to see this one after watching them on shows like This Is Your Life. Made me cry in a somber way. I really love Laurel and Hardy, like family to me.
Growing up, they were my heroes.... growing old, they are my best friends.
What a marvelous payoff right at the end! Beautifully written and acted. I'll be honest it brought more than one tear to my eye.
This was uproariously funny and heartbreakingly sad at the same time, true pathos. Thanks for putting this on RUclips.
This Movie is outstanding. I was brought to tears. What a great comedy team they were. And the actors playing them are so good.....it is uncanny how similar the actors are to the real Laurel and Hardy. I feel like I am looking at the actual guys. My hats off to the people who put this together. And you are right John Campolo, we have sunk so far since their time. And the world would be a better place if they were still around. I think my family and I are going to treat ourselves to "Sons Of The Desert" tonight.
Well said ^ it also brought tears to my eyes,it's funny how they can go from making you laugh to making you cry.legends
What a wonderful series. A terrific tribute.
So Sad I loved them so Much😢
I’m crying so much
What a great pair of real friends
Which I have none😔
😔✌️🤙😊😊😊😊, they're brite beacons of lite , stay sunny side up and try to not be sad...
That actor who plays Ollie looks a lot like what Oliver hardy used to look like.
One huge mistake. Towards the end, Oliver Hardy had lost so much weight that he was almost unrecognisable.
I was in tears at one point here, I found it very moving!
TD
I remember this being advertised on BBC4, and have been hoping it would get repeated, since I didn't get to see it. Just one criticism, it should've gone on for more than just an hour. Thanks fer the upload, Dingervision : )
Thanks for providing this for viewing.
:’) those guys had a very wonderful beautiful legend friendship moment here.
This made me cry.
Tragically sad end ...to an act that encapsulated everything that was funny slapstick and genius.....timeless comedy gold that lives forever.....Laurel & Hardy ......LEGENDS
Love Stan and Ollie.....they were the best.
Might’ve been not Totally accurate But this was a good movie Kept you interested from start to end
This passed me by when it was made, just got guided to it in a review of the film Stan and Ollie, so glad, because this is truly great TV, beautifully written and performed.
My only problem with this is that the weight of Babe during the last visit. Due to his illness, Babe had lost a considerable amount of weight
I am crying my eyes out here xx
Just got finished watching all 4 parts. As touching as this is, and as much people would like to think that Laurel was there for Hardy at the end of his life, I strongly believe this is fictitious. First, when Hardy died he was thin, almost wasting away which is why it's been speculated that he had terminal cancer. Second, Laurel couldn't attend Hardy's funeral because Laurel was too sick so I highly doubt that Laurel visited Hardy on his deathbed. In the words of Laurel in reference to missing the funeral, "Babe would understand". Their movies still make me laugh all these years later. They're timeless.
This is brilliantly written.
Love the tie twiddle scene too. The older Hardy was great casting, but why did they hire a British guy to play the younger Hardy? Babe was a Georgia boy.
The older Hardy was British too, just did a better job with the accent i guess.
Laurel and hardy forever 🙏🙌😭🙏🙌😭🙏🙌😭
all the pics of ollie before he passed away showed him quite thin.
Quite right.... he was wasting away. so bloody sad..
@@rustykilt He was told to lose a lot of weight by his doctor toward the end of his life. He went on a crash diet. Some people think the physical stress of that crash diet brought about his fatal stroke.
Cancer is a b***h most painful my dad witherd away same way sad and heartbreaking rest in peace pops and this dynamic duo. ..😔✌️🤙🤪 of comedy.. .
Thank you so much for uploading this.
Laurel and hardy were great friends till the end. Not like Abbott and Costello who hated one another. 💜💜
martin and lewis were the same..... Stan and Olie were true Gentle-men.
i was in bed listening to this specific one last night it blew me away i am now a fan bigtime
Not a literal bio of Laurel and Hardy, but a terrific memory play. The close relationship really comes through, and that end gag is perfect L&H: ("All this time you were trying to twiddle your tie and here I am pouring water down your throat!")
😢😢
Simply the best I love those guys x
The Best of the Best!!
4 mins... Is that Bishop Brennan playing old Stan ?. :)
Yes.
Has it actually ever been confirmed that Oliver was confined to his bed, the last year of his life?
I agree with you
"Drink driving" is a modern phrase. In that day it would have been "drunk driving."
Can't look at this without picturing bishop Brennan getting kicked up the arse
on the trail of the lonesome pine...
Tears
young Stan is bang on the money.......
Touching.
Quite good, indeed.
What was this program called ? Love it. So good . A huge tribute too laurel and hardy .
Magnificent
That truly was nicely written!
They made a big mistake with the Stan Laurel actor. The voice sounds a bit like Stan, but Stan had VERY NOTICEABLE BLUE EYES. They weren't brown. He also had red hair. Not dark brown.
This movie is a disgrace. The acting is terrible, the story is inaccurate, the costumes are sickening and the overall gushing sentimentality of the production makes me want to puke. Look at the state of so called Laurel there as he is supposed to be on the set of Atoll K! He looks like a punk rocker or a new romantic singer! By the time of that movie, he had grey, thinning hair and was visibly aged significantly. And for the record, when Laurel and Hardy were both in The Lucky Dog (1921), they left that movie set with absolutely no intentions of teaming up! That happened much later and not on the basis of Hal Roach's insistence. They should be ashamed. If you're going to make a movie about two of the most iconic comedy legends of the twentieth century and beyond, at least pay them the compliment of telling the truth about their lives and for fuck sake, get it right!
Wooooow !!! Great !
The old ollie looks looks like ollie
Not a bad story but I have a feeling that many fans might take this as a truthful bio. It's sad to see Laurel depicted as such flawed character. One thing that puzzles me about Lucille, why does Stan appear hurt after she comes out on the porch? Surely the fact that Oliver her a secret wouldn't have made Stan react as he did. Could someone please explain this to me?
Mediocre acting combined with an unconvincing script doesn't do the greatest comedy duo of all time the justice it deserves!
However credit where it's due the Oliver Hardy actor bore a strong resemblance.Sorry to say that the older Stan wasn't quite as convincing!
I don't know where Neil Brand did his research, but that must be the shittiest depiction of Stan Laurel I have EVER seen. I'm sure he was no angel, but this version is a selfish, self-obsessed monster, and Norton and Howden do zero to soften or otherwise much ameliorate the characterization.
perhaps only this mood was portrayed during this time of Hardy's illness.Laurel had become reclusive and embittered as he faced up to the soon coming death of his friend. Im sure this was not the character of laurel throughout his life .
Steve Gilham I doubt that. He was kind of renowned for being accessible to fans and colleagues - his telephone number was listed in the Santa Monica directory, so reclusive and bitter don't really add up. And he's portrayed as just as big a prick in the flashbacks.
DrDespicable I was refering to just this period of his life may have been like this
I have a very good friend who was high up at Fox back in the day. He knew the boys well. Stan did become reclusive once Oliver became very ill but he was never as selfish as depicted here. He still answered most of his own fan mail and was most concerned with Oliver's condition. Yes, he was a bit free and easy with the ladies but that doesn't mean he was the narcissist as shown in this photoplay.
At the height of their fame the boys were like brothers and they became inseparable. Compared to whatever foibles they had they were the most lovable and congenial of the Hollywood stars and you can see that love in many of their films. God bless them both...I hope they are keeping them laughing in heaven.
I agree. nothing I have read would portray Stanley as anything other than a great personality with all the usual human frailities.
Isnt that bishop Brennan from father ted?
faltskog36abba Yes
I thought when stan recieves that phone call at the end that he was going to hear bad news such as the death of ollie.
Was Stan really that big of a jerk?
No Matter in fact he his phone number published and anyone called he would talk with them and every fan letter he got you personally wrote them back
@Stefano Pavone That he was That he was
Thanx
I downloaded the first three parts to this wonderful movie and then found out that I can't download the last part 4!! If you don't want anyone downloading it then stop allowing the first three. I was wanting to put it on my laptop and show to my children. Laurel and Hardy was my favorite comedy team when I was growing up in the 50's. I watched it of course and enjoyed it immensely but why not allow the 4th part to be downloaded??? Makes no sense and I won't subscribe!!
Who's the man playing the older stan?
Uhh..Laurel and Hardy with American accents..???
Gareth Ifan Oliver Hardy was from the US.
Wow......
subtitle???
nice but id prefer the truth.
Quite right. I've read several of Mr. Laurel's and Mr. Hardy's (actual) interviews, and refuse to believe any of this.
VERY DISAPOINTING , AND PRETTY DEPRESSING tooooo
This is a bad copy of the famous Stan and Laurel.
Awful
Ugh. Talk about melodramatic, overdramatic, OVER-ACTED garbage!
Such total unresached crap
This is historical garbage. By the time they teamed up Laurel had given up on acting and decided to work behind the camera. The resurrection of Laurel's performing career was an accident that occurred when an actor didn't show up for a shoot and Laurel filled in as part of a stock company called the Hal Roach All Stars that was put together in desperation by Roach after Harold Lloyd went independent. Over the release of the series's first few films, they were identified by Roach its two most popular actors. Any idea that Roach forced Laurel to team up with Hardy is utterly bogus. The drama is completely hoked up and Norton sounds far far less like Laurel did than Howden. Where the hey was the director on that? And nobody connected with this movie seems to have any idea on how to be funny. The team had retired from movies in 1945, even though 20th Century Fox had offered to keep its B movie unit going just for them, and their one attempt at a comeback, "Atoll K," was an unmitigated disaster. In view of that, any idea that they would have made "Laurel and Hardy in Space," had Hardy recovered is stupid and, even if they had, they would have been sued for plagiarism by Universal since the scene where they accidentally launched the ship is a direct rip off of "Abbott and Costello go to Mars." In short, an offensively incompetent piece of grueling and pretentious hackwork. Everyone at the BBC associated with this should be sacked and then executed right down to the extras and then anyone who truly loves comedy should go after their children, even the ones who were adopted and of the right color.
+braintree2 And you should go see a doctor.
Thankyou for your insight
Your last sentence shows your absolute true colors, you loathsome ogre.
brain - Not sure what most of that is supposed to mean, and no idea who Howden is. Seems you've missed the whole point of this.
