4.0 out of 5 stars
'90s TV documentary about the greatest comedy team of all, May 26, 2008
This review is from: A Tribute to "The Boys" Laurel and Hardy [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Appearing along with host Dom DeLuise in this 1992 TV special are Steve Allen, Johnny Carson, Henny Youngman, Blake Edwards, Walter Matthau, Rich Little, Bronson Pinchot, Robert Klein and the Smothers Brothers. Emphasis is on how the work of Laurel & Hardy influenced generations of comedians who followed them. Illustrating film clips feature Stan and Ollie plus Charlie Chaplin, Jean Harlow, Ben Turpin, Mae Busch, Jimmy Finlayson, Charley Chase, Billy Gilbert and many more. (Note that most of these vintage black & white segments have been colorized with a heavy hand.)
Four L&H silent shorts ("Big Business," "Battle of the Century," "We Faw Down" and "Two Tars") are highlights of the two documentaries contained on the DVD of
FIRST KINGS OF COMEDY COLLECTION. For one low price, you get three hours of narrated samples of some of the funniest silent movies ever made!
