Laurel & Hardy in de Hal Roach-Comedies Deel 33 (VHS, PAL, Dutch Subtitles)
1. Flying Elephants (1927)
Directed by Frank Butler and featuring James Finlayson, Viola Richard and Dorothy Coburn alongside Laurel and Hardy. Set in the Stone Age, this unusual prehistoric comedy sees the familiar comedy team in caveman surroundings. The Dutch VHS notes that this short is accompanied by Piet Kroon on the organ of the Tuschinski Theater in Amsterdam.
2. Sugar Daddies (1927)
Directed by Fred Guiol, with James Finlayson and Noah Young. Stan and Ollie attempt to help millionaire Finlayson after he accidentally finds himself married, inevitably turning the situation into classic Laurel & Hardy chaos.
3. The Second Hundred Years (1927)
Directed by Fred Guiol, with James Finlayson and Tiny Sandford. Laurel and Hardy play prisoners who escape from jail disguised as whitewashers, resulting in another series of slapstick mishaps.
The packaging states that the latter two films feature a newer soundtrack by Peter Kok and Harry Coster, using music recorded in the style of the 1920s.
Description
Enjoy three early Laurel & Hardy comedies from the legendary Hal Roach era in this vintage Dutch VHS compilation, Deel 33.
This collection takes viewers back to 1927, when Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were developing the comic partnership that would make them one of cinema's most famous comedy duos. Included are Flying Elephants, Sugar Daddies and The Second Hundred Years, offering approximately 67 minutes of classic black-and-white slapstick.
The collection is particularly interesting for enthusiasts of early cinema because of its musical presentations. Flying Elephants is presented with organ accompaniment credited on the packaging to Piet Kroon at Amsterdam's famous Tuschinski Theater, while the other two shorts feature music by Peter Kok and Harry Coster.
This is a Dutch PAL VHS release from Movies Select Video, catalogue number 77343, with English-language content and Dutch subtitles. The original black-and-white sleeve, VHS cassette and holographic authenticity label are present.
The case and sleeve display normal age-related handling and storage wear, particularly around the edges and corners, as visible in the photographs. The cassette itself appears visually clean and intact.
A nice vintage release for collectors of Laurel & Hardy, silent cinema, Hal Roach comedies, classic slapstick and Dutch VHS editions.
