16MM FILM - WITH LOVE AND HISSES - 1927 - LAUREL AND HARDY
Good condition print(see screen shots). No VS. Sound. Music track. Mounted on an 800' reel.
I can't possibly watch every film all the way through. Only the first couple of minutes have been watched. Please bid accordingly. If I list a film as good condition it does not mean "excellent or mint".
...PLEASE SEE FILM GRADING SCALE BELOW:
Mint or New: Means just that. It may have been run, but still physically looks mint, untouched by a projector.
Near Mint: Only the slightest signs of having been run. Appears Mint when projected on the screen.
Like New: Can be older print that was well taken care of. May have only the slightest signs of use, occasional minor light line or splice or minor cue mark, if any. Starting at this level, older prints may have a little curl to the film, which is common.
Excellent+: Very minimal wear or light lines at times with an occasional, although seldom, splice. No major repairs or missing scenes transitions from TV use.
Excellent: Will have some minimal wear or light lines and may have an occasional temporary light emulsion line, a few splices or minor repair. Possibly some short lap dissolves or minor cue marks around transitional scenes if it was used by a TV station, but highly acceptable condition.
Very Good: Will have some wear and lines, cue marks, minor repairs and usually more splices than desirable. An occasional emulsion scratch.
Good: The same as Very Good but with more scratches, wear and some spots that may be splicy from having been damaged. Still watchable.
Fair or Poor: Will need to be checked for extensive repairs before running. I usually will never even list anything in this condition, only if a desirable title.
Stars: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, James Finlayson
Hal Roach had put Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy together in five silent films prior to this one, but the teamwork between the two was still gelling, and they hadn't yet developed the characters that we now know as Laurel and Hardy. Here, the boys are part of an Army Reserve group, headed for a weekend camp. Sergeant Banner (Hardy) gets in trouble with Captain Bustle (James Finlayson) by flirting with Bustle's two female companions. Private Cuthbert Hope (Laurel) is also on the train, causing trouble. While going through their exercises at their destination, the men pause to bathe in a lake. Hope is supposed to watch their clothing, but instead he joins them. Banner tosses away his cigarette, which completely burns up everyone's outfits. Bustle's ladies happen by, and the naked platoon are forced to hide behind a billboard and have to somehow get back to camp. On the way, they knock over a hornet's nest, resulting in a title card reading, "All's well that ends swell, " and a final shot showing the men from the back, their behinds swollen to preposterous proportions. Stan Laurel got top billing in this two-reeler, with Finlayson second. Oliver Hardy's name was not yet a drawing card.
