Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In Greek mythology, there is a cursed old King called Sisyphus who is punished in Hades by eternally having to push a heavy stone up a hill (as soon as he gets to the top, it comes rolling down). Sisyphus's closest relations in Hollywood are Stan and Ollie, whose punishment in The Music Box is delivering a piano to a house at the top of a seemingly interminable staircase. This Oscar-winning comedy short should be shown to anybody who doubts Laurel and Hardy's genius. It's one of their greatest films, as painful as it is funny to watch.
Way Out West, their sole foray into cowboy country, benefits from their rousing rendition of "The Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia" (a song which made it into the British charts a few years ago) and some inspired villainy from James Finlayson, the Scottish actor who was frequently cast as Stan and Ollie's nemesis (here, he plays villainous bartender Mickey Finn). The plot is some hokum about Stan and Ollie's attempts to deliver deeds to a gold mine to the daughter of an old pal. What matters is the clowning--most of which is inspired. In Sons of the Desert, the duo play truant from their wives to attend a Masonic lodge convention, but don't get away with the deception. --Geoffrey Macnab
