Hal Roach treated them like CRAP. He was a major league jerk in his younger days. They were way underpaid and denied raises. He played one against the other. Paid Laurel a lot more than Hardy and kept their contract expiration dates staggered so they could not leave and go to another studio or out on their own. L&H were treated as bad by Roach as the Three Stooges were by Harry Cohn at Columbia.

In fact, my father used to go to the movie house on Saturday afternoon when he was a boy and watch the Our Gang shorts (as well as the Three Stooges). He told me it cost him a dime for the newsreel, short and movie! LOL However, Hal Roach's excellence as a studio head really has nothing to do with him being a horrible boss who mistreated his stars.

The Hal Roach studios were located in Culver City, CA. Only a plaque remains today of that famous facility where so many of the iconic Laurel and Hardy films were made. It was Hal Roach who first teamed L&H together even before “talkies” replaced silent movies. He created the greatest comedy duo in history and lived to see the outcome even after both the boys were long gone.

Yes, he was just kidding. Stan did a lot of the physical film editing with the official film editors and William Terhune agreed a deal to lend his house, much as Roach described. But he attended the shooting every day and there was no question which house it was. The props and effects guys had been doctoring it before filming, and Terhune got new windows, doors and landscaped garden out of it, in addition to a paid vacation and a facility fee. Everyone knew which house it was, not least the neighbours and the police.

Awesome recommend to me by YT. Guess because I've watched so many Laurel and Hardy films here. So funny to see Jay put Hal on the spot about his drivers license! I've never met anyone in person that old but he looks much better then most that I've seen on TV. Awesome, thanks Hal!

8:40 Beau Hunks is a 1931 American Pre-Code Laurel and Hardy film, directed by James W. Horne. The title is a reference to the novel Beau Geste (1924), and to the common ethnic slur of the time, "bohunk". At 37 minutes, it is the longest L&H short. The French Foreign Legion scenario was remade as The Flying Deuces with Charles B. Middleton again playing their commanding officer.

What a legend! So true about living through the depression and how it affects one’s view about money. My dad was 7 years old when the depression hit and it was frugal and believed in saving.

Addictions come in many forms. Even at 100 years old, when money is pretty much useless to him, he still cares so much about money! Human beings have still got a long way to go in evolving to a more spiritual being and not be so material based or ego based.
