4.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must for any L&H fan, 22 Dec 2000
By Joe (Luxembourg) - See all my reviews
Quite simply the most authoritive book I've seen about L&H, includes theirs lives, their films and many many examples of gags and scripts that ended up on the cutting room floor (never to be 'seen' again). It's a crime that some of the gags that were cut (for time sake). But at least we have the chance of knowing what they contained.

Every film is well documented, with details of what was happening on and off screen at the time.

If you need to know anything about L&H this book should have it. Great value for money!!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite book on the 'boys'.., 4 Nov 2001
By A Customer
An excellent read,for die hard fan or otherwise.Skretvedt fills the book with impressive amounts of research ,and uncovers plenty of unseen scripts from all the films,fascinating stuff,whilst also managing to review their lives and work with humour,respect and passion.I couldn't put the book down,and still regularly pick it up for bite size chunks of reading.My thanks to the author!
