Laurel & Hardy Film Site Is Honored By City Of Los Angeles
A tall, steep set of concrete steps used as the setting for a widely known Laurel & Hardy film short has been honored officially by the City Council Of Los Angeles; the steps, seen in the 1932 Oscar-winning short film The Music Box, still exist after over 90 years since the film's debut and has been a very frequent tourist stop; the film, besides winning the Oscar, was also selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry...
L.A. honors Silver Lake staircase, site of Laurel and Hardy’s ‘The Music Box’- https://www.dailynews.com/2024/06/06...the-music-box/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy7YuAj3xd8 Shortly after I first arrived in Los Angeles to live, I visited those stair with my then girlfriend; we started at the bottom of the stairs and climbed all the way up to the top; it was a blazing hot summer day and I'm pretty sure she probably hasn't forgiven me for taking her along on the climb; maybe I should have told her there's a road around back that goes to the top... <O> |
I did work for a moving company; and having deliver'd stoves, freezers, & refrigerators etc. up to third floor apartments for an appliance company out of the Teamster hall in my 20's, I can relate to this comedy.:wah: On one occasion the lady suddenly didn't like the color; so we had to re-crate it and take it back down again...:timeout::oops::dead:

I don't know which film it was but in it Ollie went into a room and accidentally destroyed every single thing in it by falling onto a table. It has to be one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen in a movie, old or new - and I wish I could've told him "ROTFLMFHO"!
