Here is a 16mm print of the Laurel and Hardy film Block-heads. The last produced by Hal Roach and one of their very best films. Some wear, mostly in the pre-print material (negative) used. No vinegar small, no warping. Projects well with slight hiss in sound, mostly covered by the music track. See scans for image quality. From Laurel and Hardy Central:This is a film that almost wasn't. For eleven years, Hal Roac...h Studios had distributed their films through MGM. In 1938, Roach signed a new deal with United Artists, but still owed MGM one film under the old contract. Determined to make a film quickly and cheaply, a new L&H feature was the choice. The production was hurried and chaotic, Stan and Roach were not on the best of terms, and Stan's personal problems with his third wife Illiana distracted him from his work. In addition, both Stan and Babe were nearing the end of their Roach contracts, and there were strong rumors that this would be the last Laurel and Hardy film. Despite the problems, BLOCK-HEADS emerged as one of their best-ever features. BLOCK-HEADS is a tremendous comedy filled with energy and wit, but quite different from the other classic Laurel and Hardy features, SONS OF THE DESERT and WAY OUT WEST.
