(OK) What else, Tis is myth, Sisifus and absurd, and poetry with repetitions and geometry and cadence, and paroxims and even those heavenly choreographies in wich you understand why subversive Laurel needs dominant Hardy...

A good movie

I have noticed that many classic movies starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are available on YouTube and since I loved these guys so much when I was a kid, I thought it would be the opportunity to rediscover their work. Well, according to IMDb, it is the most popular movie they have ever made so my expectations were pretty high but, to be honest, I thought the damned thing turned out to be sligh... read more

Like the legendary Sisyphus, deliverymen Laurel and Hardy struggle to push a large crated piano up a seemingly insurmountable flight of stairs.

“I have noticed that many classic movies starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are available on YouTube and since I loved these guys so much when I was a kid, I thought it would be the opportunity to rediscover their work. Well, according to IMDb, it is the most popular movie they have ever made so my expectations were pretty high but, to be honest, I thought the damned thing turned out to be slightly disappointing. Sure, it was quite entertaining, no doubt about it, but I never thought it was really hilarious. I mean, for 30 mins, you get to see the famous duo trying to bring a piano up some seemingly endless stairs and, then, they pretty much destroyed the whole house where they were supposed to deliver this piano. Well, it felt rather slim but I guess this short comedies were never about” read more
