- Interview with actors Steve Coogan & John C Reilly who play Laurel & Hardy in new movie Stan & Ollie... They're joined by director Jon S. Baird on stage at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin, one of the last places the comedy duo ever performed.
"Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into!"[
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are widely regarded as the greatest comedy partnership in movie history. Between 1927 and 1950, they made over 107 film appearances (32 silent short films, 40 sound shorts, 23 features, 12 cameos), defining the notion of the double act with infectious chemistry and hilarious routines that seemed effortless but were honed down to the finest detail. The pair were part of the very few silent stars to survive and thrive in the sound era, adding wordplay to their comedy mastery, “You can lead a horse to water but a pencil must be led,” quips Stan in BRATS.
Their influence goes way beyond cold stats and film buff analysis having amassed a huge and devoted international fan base, three museums and an appreciation society, Sons Of The Desert. Beloved the world over - in Germany, they are Dick Und Doof, in Poland Flip I Flap, in Brazil O Gordo e o Magro - they are a gateway to comedy, a passport to a world of sublime silliness and everlasting friendship. Whether you know them from TV reruns, cartoon adaptations or a Twitter gif, just to hear their theme tune, The Cuckoo Song, is not only a guaranteed smile, it's a time machine to a more innocent age. People admire Chaplin, sit in awe of Buster Keaton but they love Laurel and Hardy. There is a hardly a comedian alive who hasn’t been influenced by Laurel and Hardy, their reach is long.
ABOUT THE MOVIE
Laurel & Hardy, the world's favorite comedy double act, set out on a variety hall tour of Britain in 1953. Diminished by age and with their golden era as the kings of Hollywood comedy now behind them, they face an uncertain future. As they start crisscrossing the country, attendances are disappointingly low. But they've always been able to make each other laugh and as the charm and beauty of their performances shines through their audiences laugh too, and they re-connect with legions of adoring fans, old and new.
The tour becomes a hit, but Stan & Ollie can't quite shake the spectre of Laurel and Hardy’s past; and long buried ghosts, coupled with Oliver's failing health, start to threaten their precious partnership. A portrait of the most tender and poignant of creative marriages begins to unfold as the duo, aware that they may be approaching their swan song, try to rediscover just how much they mean to each other.

I saw the film last night and I loved every minute of it, The acting was outstanding and I loved their wives in it as well . the film shows the love that Stan and Ollie had for each other.
Just returned from the theater watching this film.All I can say ,is that it is one of the best depictions of our heroes from the past brought back to us for 1:37 min.The story didn't appear to be a memory of days gone by and a relationship of two "chaps" who loved what they did,but loved each other even more.A must see!
The part where Ollie knocks on Stan's door and says to him "You're not leaving are you, the show must go on." That makes me cry every time, as does when they arrive in Ireland to a huge crowd of fans at the boat dock.
Stan & Ollie is the best movie since 1940.
The Last movie was 1945 ;-) and the very Last at 1951.
This movie was amazing. The ending made me a bit misty eyed for sure. They did such a good job bringing them back to life.
I've seen this most wonderful film. Being 58 Laurel and Hardy were still on the telly sometimes. I have to congratulate everyone involved in this film. A true love story portrayed by excellent performances . I cried at the end too.
This movie made me cry. So many memories of early mornings of champion the wonder horse followed by Stan n Ollie were complete magic in my childhood. Loved them like family. 52yrs now and blubbed with admiration. Angel's on earth.
I watched this last night, is almost impossible to have done, if john c reily had put on weight like deniro it would have been oscar for sure, they definetly captured the essence anyway. what not. so funny see him losing on horses being abit of gambling problem.
Although I love Steve personally much more than John, but I have to give John the credit, John made a great job in the role of Ollie, he brought his kindness and sweetness back to the screen, but there was much of Steve Coogan in Stan
This interview was in the Gaiety theatre in Dublin...the last place they ever performed together..
Great movie which only helps you love them more
