Wonderful!
Solid bio on the most elusive of Laurel & Hardy A key reason, as John McCabe's solid bio points out, is that Babe wanted it that way. He deferred all creative decisions and most press inquries to Stan. In a sense, McCabe faced a Herculean task: he wanted to write a bio about a comedian etched firmly in world film culture, yetactual sources of information (Hardy died August 6, 1957) were few. Could it be done? Yes. Babe etches out Hardy's life. And we learn a few fascinating tidbits along the way: how throughout his life he always cringed at jokes about his weight (his weight always bothered him) but went along for the laughs (Jackie Gleason reportedly had the same attitude); how he developed his fuss-budget film-personna quirks from a relative; how he viewed himself more as an actor (or reactor) than a comedian; how his love for music pervadedhis life (he does sing in some of his films). And a LOT more. The book also gives fascinating details about his sad final year where he lost a lot of weight and his health went into a downward tailspin. This is a solid book that also recounts some of the team's best shorts, features, and details their famous tour of England. And McCabe JUST pulls off his feat. His source material on Hardy is largely culled from interviews with Stan Laurel and Hardy's last wife, Lucille. If there is a complaint it's that this is still not as well fleshed out as a typical show biz bio where more sources and information were available -- but there is enough detail to make this a solid book that'll delight Laurel & Hardy fans, show biz bio fans, and students of comedy of all ages. Babe would be pleased.

Editorial Review Product Description Drawing on oral history, old newspapers and family scrapbooks,"Judgment Day" brings back the days of New Bedford's colorful MayorEdward C. Peirce, who was convicted of gambling related crimes. It isthe story of a man who reached the pinnacle of success, only to bebrought down by the opposing forces of his time. In "Between Heaven &Hell," witness the devastation and resolve in the Flint neighborhoodwhen Fall River's cherished Note Dame Church burned to the ground in1982. Spinner has uncovered two extraordinary journals of local andinternational interest, each with it's own reflections on war andAmerica. In "Unforgettable Days," Natalie Kaplan recounts her girlhoodin Russia, her work as a young nurse in the Red Army, and heremigration to New Bedford. "The Fall River Nanny" is the diary of ayoung Englishwomen, Annie Ward, who came to America in 1914 to work inthe house of a mill owner. Her bittersweet journal recalls the romanceand gaiety of Fall River, but is laced with anguish as her homelandand her loved ones are drawn into World War I. Two area institutions remind us of the strength and character that canbe developed as a result of childhood struggles. In "At St. Mary'sDoorstep," Raymond Rivard tells about his teenage years as a residentof St. Mary's Home for Children in New Bedford. "Children ofSol-e-Mar" is a fond recollection of life at a South Dartmouthhospital for crippled children in the days before penicillin. In "Heritage Harvest," the culinary Worlds of the Indians and settlersmix, bringing us the johnnycake, the clambake and more. A specialfeature, "Milton Silvia: As I Saw It," showcases a treasury ofphotographs taken during Milt's long career with TheStandard-Times. In "Trolley Days," pictures and personal accountsbring back city streetcars, while "The Progress of Bloomerism" tracksthe coming of the new fashion in the 1850's. Finally, "Rum Running inWestport" tells what life was like in Westport duringProhibition. This is the world of Spinner: words and photographs, oral history andjournals. It is a world we all have in common as humanbeings. |

"Mr. Laurel Says...."
A must for all comedy fans!
A must for all comedy fans This book also helps set the record straight that Stan Laurel was the real creative force behind his best movies, even though others always got writing and directing screen credit. Historical interest aside, the Laurel & Hardy scripts are great reading for sheer entertainment value. Even if you've seen every Laurel & Hardy film made, realize that the Laurel & Hardy characters had a handful of other adventures which were not filmed. This book is a priceless way to access these great scripts. If you haven't seen many Laurel & Hardy films, rent some. I can recommend almost every Laurel & Hardy film from before 1941. (Their post-1940 films were mediocre at best, mainly because Laurel had very little creative input to his films of that period.) After you've seen enough Laurel & Hardy films to become a fan, read this book. You're sure to love it. By the way, this is author/compiler John McCabe's _third_ book on the subject of Laurel and Hardy. His first book was a concise but excellent biography of Laurel and Hardy in the early 1960's, called "Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy." McCabe had met Laurel & Hard in person when he first started that project, and he wrote that meeting L&H in person, and finding them to be such nice people in real life, was "like finding out Santa Claus actually existed." McCabe also co-authored a 1975 pictorial filmography called "Laurel and Hardy." ... Read more |
