This is the Laurel and Hardy film that everyone remembers! When presenting my lecture on Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, I am always asked about “The film with the piano.” The plot for this classic is simple - Laurel and Hardy move a piano up a very long set of exterior stairs. This simple premise explodes with laughter. Now, here is the lecture that not only gives you their longest “short” film, it clocks in at twenty nine minutes, but also the background to the making of the film as well as its origins in the “lost” Laurel and Hardy silent film, “Hats Off”. Attendees will enjoy a laugh filled morning with the only Laurel and Hardy film to win the Academy Award for “Best Short Subject.” It is amazing that this classic laugh-getter is almost one hundred years old with the first Long Island lecture to present this film! A second Laurel and Hardy short “Helpmates”, will also be screened. An autograph, book and memorabilia display is included.
