    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      A Laurel & Hardy museum, which contains many artifacts of Stan Laurel's career, is located in his birthplace, Ulverston, Cumbria. Laurel occasionally dropped by to visit his parents. When he and Oliver Hardy visited the town as part of their 1953 UK tour, a huge crowd welcomed them. A bronze statue of the duo is outside the town hall.
    • Goofs
      At the beginning, Stan and Ollie are playing to very small audiences in what look like run down theaters. They actually played to packed houses in major cities.
    • Quotes

      Stan Laurel: I'm never getting married again. I'm just going to find a woman I don't like and buy her a house.

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits include a montage of photographs of the real Laurel and Hardy at events depicted in the movie.

    Their dances and bits plus their off screen lives

    This is the best new movie I have watched in years. John C. Reilly could easily be nominated for acting honors. The cinematography is beautiful, the sets are believable and the story seems to be an honest account of an interesting part of Stan and Ollie's lives. The best part of this movie is the opening four minute plus tracking scene. It is not quite as great as LaLaLand's tracking shot but still one of the all time best. Laurel and Hardy fans will love this movie. Hopefully it will make youngsters curious enough to watch some of their old movies. This movies uses some of my favorite scenes from Way Out West. Excellent movie.

    FAQ21

    • How long is Stan & Ollie?Powered by Alexa
    • Why does the film limit its focus on just the later (and arguably the most depressing) part of their lives and career, as opposed to similar biofilms on the life and _whole_ careers of Chaplin, Peter Sellers etc?
