❤What I find fascinating about their early films is just how defined their characters already were. Sure, Ollie looks different with a top hat and monocle, but all the classic L & H touches are already evident: their mannerisms, body language, facial expressions, etc. Even without dialog, you can practically hear their conversations and voices as we've come to know them. It's no wonder they made the transition to talkies so effortlessly, IMO.
They are both in their age mid 30s. I did not realize they started as a team not until this age. They did an incredible amount of work together in the next several years. Became arguably, the top comedy duo of the century really in only the next few years after they first appeared as partners in this year movie was made (this film was made 1927); a relatively short amount of time. The two became lifelong close friends, as well. Within a few years, in countries across the Atlantic throughout Europe and soon Asia people were fans. Did not happen much for actors so fast like that in that era. They were a match made seemingly in comedy team heaven.
Watching all Laurel & Hardy videos from start to finish, thanks for posting this one. As a guy who's watched their later movies, it's interesting to see their personas were there right from the beginning.
Oliver Hardy looks different with a beard in their first short as a duo together. Also, Oliver Hardy isn't wearing his bowler hat that made him an icon. I guess Laurel and Hardy were both finding their feet as a comedy team together in this short film. Duck Soup was also the title for The Marx Brothers movie.
They weren't an official team at this point, they were comic actors who were at this point sharing screen time, their official teaming didn't occur until nearly a year later in 1927
@Ross Hendrick if you're talking silent films then their first "official" L&H release is The Second Hundred Years onwards, if you mean the talkies then start with Unnacustomed as we Are onwards wiki will give you release orders if you want to watch them in release sequence
Again, I 'll have to say this was an accidental pairing. First of all, Stan's father wrote this script, requiring that Stan MUST have a partner; Stan chose an English actor, someone named Crossley, but that actor failed to show up, so Hardy had to take his place!
I will have to say again, this teaming was an accident. Stan’s father wrote the script to this movie, requiring that Stan MUST have a partner; Stan chose an English comic named Syd Crossley to team with him, but Syd failed to show up; so Hardy had to replace him. 😮
This one was made 1927. The more famous Marx Brothers film was 1933. Le McCarey was "supervising director" on this one, and "director" on the later one and reused the title. The two films have no similarities. "Duck soup" was a slang expression at the time meaning, "Something easy to do." Probably equivalent to "No sweat" or "Simples" in today's slang. The Laurel & Hardy film was remade in 1930 as "Another Fine Mess" which has caused confusion ever since, because Hardy's usual expression is, "Here's another NICE mess you've gotten me into."
@@Oheao On the other hand, the title of the Marx Brothers movie allegedly comes from a joke Groucho used to tell - something like "If you take four live ducks, and throw them in a pot of boiling water, what you get will be enough to make you duck soup forever."

@@zorbathegreek8339 It was not, they appeared together in other films though not as a team.

Movies that I grew up with. thanks
I love how they didn't even give Stan time to undress before they rushed him and Ollie to fight fires. XD
Then they remade it later and named it Another Fine Mess(1930) with sound!
Its the same as the other movie that was with dialogues...😅

Which film is the best one to watch, if I want to see them starting as a official team?

After "Duck Soup", they were not an official team yet.
... INDEED OLD FRUIT!...🖖🏴
The English actors name was Syd Crossley, he was in another silent movie with Stan Laurel before this.
I will have to say again, this teaming was an accident. Stan’s father wrote the script to this movie, requiring that Stan MUST have a partner; Stan chose an English comic named Syd Crossley to team with him, but Syd failed to show up; so Hardy had to replace him. 😮
This is the only film I've seen Ollie in wearing a beard. It is good to see Ollie for once look slightly different.
a tip : watch series at KaldroStream. Been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Deacon Maurice definitely, I've been using kaldroStream for since december myself :D

Any connection between this film and the one by the same name with the Marx Bros?

@@mikefule330 Yeah, the term Duck Soup has the same meaning as "piece of cake".
@@Oheao On the other hand, the title of the Marx Brothers movie allegedly comes from a joke Groucho used to tell - something like "If you take four live ducks, and throw them in a pot of boiling water, what you get will be enough to make you duck soup forever."
@@brandonschubert7434 I think Groucho actually tells that joke in the movie.
Not a chance.
Changed because the Marx Brothers had the title first?
This is 1927. The Marx Brothers' "Duck Soup" was made in 1933.
