John Landis on

Way Out West

Released 1937
Distributor MGM

Often cited (by Stan Laurel himself) as a quintessential Laurel and Hardy vehicle, this modest western spoof showcases their gently abusive relationship with a minimum of dialog. The music score by Marvin Hatley was Oscar nominated! Although the team remains popular with the baby boomer generation, present day kids are woefully unfamiliar with L & H. Hopefully the affectionate new release “Stan & Ollie” will redress the situation somewhat.
