Hello Laurel & Hardy friends,
I hope all is well and enjoying the un-seasonally hot sunny weather – indeed as the Mae’s butler remarked in Oliver The Eighth (1934)… nice weather we had tomorrow!
I also hope you’ve been enjoying the short season of Laurel & Hardy films on TalkingPicturesTV between 4-6pm on Saturday and Sundays, with an occasional short film on Saturday morning….I understand that tomorrow is Helpmates (1932) in the morning and Way Out West (1937) in the afternoon, Sunday is Swiss Miss (1938) and next Tuesday, Our Relations (1936) at teatime.
With the ongoing situation with infection rates rising, etc etc, I don’t feel that we are safe enough to meet up for an indoor film show just yet even though Boris has given us the nod and… a unwanted ping. I’m hopeful, however, that we might get something going again in Octember or Nowonder! Lets see.
Though this months meeting is quite obviously cancelled, I think I would have prepared a programme of films with the Tokyo Olly-in-pics tin mind….so if you are not seeing enough of the Boys this month on TalkingPicturesTV then howzabout going for Gold with this little lot:-
The Battle of the Century (1927) – A Boxing and pie-throwing contest
Men O War (1929) – A Rowing and Kayak race
Another Fine Mess (1930) – A triathlon of sorts….Cycling, Equestrian and Archery
Hog Wild (1930) – In the pool for a High Diving contest
A chump at oxford (1940) – celebrating Lord Paddington, Oxfords finest athelete and champion Ear Wiggler
Any Old Port (1932) – More boxing and ear wiggling
The Chimp (1932) – Weight lifting, Equestrian and Pistol Shooting
Helpmates (1932) – Closing ceremony and the final extinguishing of the flame!!
Nothing else L&H to report this month i’m afraid! “That’s all there is…there isn’t any more”
Stay safe everyone and hopefully we will see you all again real soon.
Laurel & Hardily Yours,
Dave and Denise T
