Trying to deliver the piano and the hassle it caused them was brilliant, Made in 1932 it was just wonderful and these two are a very rare breed of silent actors who made the transfer to talkies a success. A total classic Olds and like you not seen it in ages, Thanks for the heads up
I loved Billy Gilbert as Professor Theodore von Schwarzenhoffen, M.D., A.D., D.D.S., F.L.D., F-F-F-and-F. He played many other roles in Laurel & Hardy films with his great exaggerated facial expressions which would have been honed in the silent era..

Indeed, Hal Roach studios had probably a handful of actors that appeared in many films, They use to churn out flims by the week. I know people don't like old b/w films but people like Laurel & Hardy are a must to watch

I binge watched Gentleman Jack starring the excellent Suranne Jones..I am usually not that interested in period drama from the 1800s,but this one I found quite compelling.
Set in 1832 around Halifax,The principle character(Jones) is a hard nosed businesswoman & land owner who creates a bit of a scandal by falling in love with someone of the same sex.

I recorded The Radical Story of Patty Hearst a few months back on PBS America(Sky 174) & have just got around to watching all of the(6x 1hour episodes)
A excellent documentary & one to lookout for when it’s rerun again.
I remembered bits of the story the kidnapping,subsequent joining the SLA & the bank raid she was involved in,but not the rest of her tale.

Last week up in the Lakes we went to the Laurel & Hardy Museum in Ulverston, where they have a little cinema showing their films on rotation. We watched one where they're chimney sweeps at a scientist's house - good slapstick fun.
