The Laurel & Hardy Movie Scripts, Vol. 2
Lost Films and Classics, By Randy Skretvedt
The Laurel & Hardy Movie Scripts Volume 2: Lost Films and Classics presents priceless, never-before-published documents created between 1927 and 1935 for 23 of the team’s movies. For the first time, you can read cutting continuities for the now-lost Hats Off! and The Rogue Song, and a missing portion of The Battle of the Century, all of which precisely describe the action in each shot.
Also featured is a never-filmed script, Tickets for Two, as well as complete scripts for favorites such as Two Tars, Helpmates, The Music Box, County Hospital, and more. The scripts differ substantially from the finished movies, with fascinating and hilarious scenes that were never shot. Plus, L&H expert Randy Skretvedt describes the changes and adds behind-the-scenes details on each film’s production and cast… all illustrated by 200 rare photographs.
Don’t miss this golden opportunity to enjoy the boy’s long-missing gems, while digging deeper into the making of their classics!
