Stan and Ollie with Sir Harry Lauder

Whenever the boys visited Scotland, they would stay with him at his house, Lauder Hall in Strathavon

Default BELOW ZERO

BELOW ZERO.
You would of thought this would of been included on the Snow Dvd,as it plays quite a major part in the film,but you will find this on the Saps at Sea Dvd,where the theme is music.(im sure it all makes sense to who ever put these Dvds together). The film see's are duo busking in the snow while singing the musical ditty "In the Good Old Summertime.",much to the irritation of Charlie Hall who's trying to scrape the snow from the front of his shop,and does not take kindly to the boys musical efforts.Thus ensues a snowball fight.Below Zero has like most of there short films a simple premise,where by the boys seem to jump from one scrape to another,in this case they find a wallet full of money and after they get chased by a thug who wants to steal it from them,they are rescued by a cop,unfortunately what they do not realise is that its the cop's wallet they have found.Below Zero has some nice gags,mostly when there having a fight with a woman who smashes up there musical instruments,although the busking outside an institute for the deaf is a bit corny,but does explain the lack of musical appreciation for the boys efforts..If there is one lasting image I remember when I saw this many years ago as a kid,it was the sight of Stan running around like he has a massive balloon up his shirt (which he did),also the concept of someone drinking a whole barrel full of water really freaked me out when I was younger,then again so does a chimp in a tutu and Olly turning into a chimpanzee or them having there limbs being twisted around by a deranged sea captain Walter Long.

Default The Fixer Uppers (1935)

Im not sure who came up with the double take and looks to the camera breaking the fourth wall,but Oliver Hardy was definitely a master of these comedy tricks,only equaled by James Finlayson and maybe Ricky Gervais or Martin Freeman or Eddie Murphy,any how you get the point.In the The Fixer Uppers Olly has plenty of opportunities to flex his comedy muscle,of course mostly due to Stan rubbing him up the wrong way.Also Stan gets to expand on one of his cunning plans,of course when ever he has to repeat said plan it usually goes horribly wrong with Olly seemingly understanding every word,even if it is totally inexplicable. The duo are out selling Christmas cards,(for some reason everything has gone Parisian,Im assuming because the French are always dueling perhaps),and after a rather successful sales pitch to professional drunkard Arthur Housman,they come across the sobbing Mae Busch who is having some marital problems with her artist husband played by Charles Middleton.This is where Stan come's up with the plan of trying to make her husband jealous by catching her with another man,after trying to explain how he heard of a similar story.The Fixer Uppers has some great moments,whether its Stan kissing Mae Busch until she faints,or Stan and Ollie waking up in an unfamiliar bed,until they realise that there back in the bedroom of Mae and her jealous husband.It all gets a bit farcical towards the end,with prat falls and some rather unconvincing acting from Olly as he fakes his death while having a duel.Still it has one of those typically memorable endings that stick in your mind well after you have seen it,even if its only Olly covered in rubbish in the back of horse drawn garbage cart.

Laughing Gravy...
As fake snow goes, the stuff they use in Laughing gravy may not be the most realistic in the world, (alright it looks polystyrene) (although I love the opening scene of the shot of the house with all the icicles hanging from the windows.)but it certainly conveys a coldness and sort of impoverisheness that encapsulates the depression era of the 1930's.When we see Stan and Olly sleeping in the same bed, we know it has nothing to do with sex but the fact they cannot afford anything else.(besides im sure Olly would not tolerate Stan's hiccups or his hogging of the bed covers for very long) Its a testament to the characters and the time that you can make a comedy basically about being poor and impoverished, all we get is Ken Loach. Anyhow the boys are trying to hide there dog Laughing gravy from there itinerant landlord, the very funny Charlie Hall. Depending on whether you are watching the two reel version or three reel version, the ending are slightly different, in the three reel version, Stan's loyalty to his buddy is tested to the limit when he inherits some money but there is a clause, he has to leave Olly. In the other version, the occupants of the house are quarantined because of small pox and Charlie shots himself rather than spend another evening with the boys. You do feel sorry for Laughing Gravy considering who his owners are, he's hoisted up to the window by bed clothes, dog groomed in the bubbliest bubble bath ever seen and also stuffed up a chimney where he ends up on the roof. Laughing Gravy is probably one of my all time favourites, up there with The Chimp, which basically shares the same story. There can't be that many comedies where some body shots themselves at the end or sticks a dog up a chimney..
