THEN & NOW
Filming 'Perfect Day'. Note: The microphone hanging
into view.
The Perfect Day House as it is today. Located
at: 3120 Vera Ave, Culver City.
Another scene outside the house.
A special thanks must go to Bob Satterfield of the 'Way out West' Tent
who found many of the 'Laurel and Hardy' locations. I fully recommend that
you try and get hold of the special 'PRATFALL' magazine called 'Laurel and
Hardywood', although it may be out of print now.
Bob has been our tour guide on many occasions when we have toured the
locations.
I should say, that this is a private address, and you should respect
the owners privacy.

BACK TO THE LAUREL AND HARDY
MAGAZINE
One of the funniest sound
effects you'll ever hear occurs in this priceless early 'talkie' from Laurel
and Hardy. Pin your ears back when Stan literally "throws out the clutch"
from that passenger-hating car, and Ollie responds by clobbering him with
it. That, and the constant abuse dished out to grumpy Uncle Edgar's gouty
foot, the childish sandwich-throwing, the irritating little dog and the
brick-throwing neighbour crack me up every time. And it's still quite amazing
to hear Edgar Kennedy suddenly muttering "Oh, s**t!" just before the arrival
of the parson - how did nobody (least of all the censors) notice this back
in the 'twenties?
Vintage Laurel and Hardy
slapstick. It doesn't get much better than
this.
