5.0 out of 5 stars Great retrospective of early Laurel and Hardy movies..., 27 Nov 2005
By J. Black "hull-kr-forever" (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Laurel and Hardy’s Laughing 20’s is a 90 minute feature-length compilation of their silent films. Produced by Robert Youngson in 1965, it features a wealth of funny moments and excerpts from lesser known material.

When Robert compiled this retrospective he preserved the work of great comedians during a time when old nitrate film negatives were rapidly deteriorating and the major film studios remained disinterested in spending money to preserve the work of a bygone era. Youngson found the way to preserve these films was to generate cash for the film studios by making compilations and creating renewed interest in the stars of yesteryear; 'Laurel and Hardy's Laughing 20's' is just one of these compilations. And a great retrospective it is too.

What initially astounded me about this DVD - given the competitive price – is the picture quality; it doesn’t seem to be transferred from old video source material. Certainly, ‘The Finishing Touch’ appears to be much sharper print than the one included in the recent Universal Studios Laurel and Hardy box set release.

Also included in more-or-less complete form is ‘From Soup to Nuts’, ‘Liberty’, ‘Putting Pants on Philip’ and ‘Wrong Again’.

As well as the usual Laurel and Hardy cast members (Charley Chase, Anita Garvin, Edgar Kennedy), Youngson also includes a tip of the derby to Max Davidson – seeing this funny man broadside his talents next to these film greats will only make viewers want to search out more footage of this overlooked comedian.

The concluding part of ‘Laughing 20’s’ showcases best moments from ‘Two Tars’, ‘The Second Hundred Years’, ‘Habeas Corpus’, ‘You’re Darn Tootin’’, ‘We Faw Down’ and the climax of the pie fight scene in ‘Battle of the Century’.

Although these are silent films, commentary by Jay Jackson is included throughout the feature.

The artwork of Laurel and Hardy on the case is a nice departure from the usual stock photos used by some DVD producers that are often out of context with the actual production itself.

There are no extras on the DVD which in one sense is a good thing because you can focus on the main feature – however, it would have been nice to see a theatrical trailer for the movie included.

All-in-all, this is a fantastic retrospective compiled by someone who undoubtedly had genuine warmth and affection for his subject matter.

This DVD is certainly worth the money – not only will it appeal to fans of Laurel and Hardy but also to comedy film buffs and those interested in movie history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to L&H's silent films, 11 Jan 2007
By A. G. Rogan "alexrogan2" (Blackpool, Lancs, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are only familiar with Stan and Ollie's talkie films, then this DVD is an excellent introduction to their silent films of the late 1920s. This film, compiled in 1965 by Robert Youngson, shows extensive clips of the best of their silent comedies, and is well worth adding to the collection of any L & H fan.
As well as Laurel & Hardy, the film also shows a few clips of generally unavailable Charley Chase and Max Davidson films, two comedians who were making comedies at Hal Roach Studios at the same time as L & H. Chase's films in particular are well worth looking at, unfortunately they have yet to receive a dedicated region 2 DVD release...

5.0 out of 5 stars the perfect highlights of the perfect comedy team., 8 Dec 2006
By Mr. A. E. Ward Davies (Canterbury , England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
no wonder this compilation of laurel and hardy singlehandly revived interest in them; there are some priceless highlights featuring the team at their best, especially "you're darn tootin,'" "battle of the century," "the finishing touch" etc. but most of all, these highlights provide concrete evidence that laurel and hardy still remain unrivalled as the greatest comedy team in the world, be it film, stage, radio or T.V.
also on hand, are some funny moments from silent clowns charley chase and max davidson. historically, they make for fascinating viewing.
luckily, the success of this release led robert youngson to compily another collection of highlights entitled "the further perils of laurel and hardy."
the narrator jay jackson summed up laurel and hardy perfectly with his closing commentary: "into the distance, into the memory, we shall never see their like again." never was a truer word spoken.
