Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy [16/07/2007] (Actor)

The Boys
"Eranse dos payasos..."

Podríamos decir que para cualquier persona de hasta ochenta años, Stan Laurel y Oliver Hardy son como de la familia, pues nos han acompañado desde la infancia. Siempre juntos, como en la escena en la que salen del plano metidos en un par de pantalones de talla gigante y saludando con el sombrero en "You're darn Tootin' ".
Eran conocidos y queridos en todo el mundo bajo una variedad arrolladora de nombres locales: el Gordo y el Flaco; Dick and Doof (Alemania); Helan and Halvan (Noruega y Suecia); Gog y Cokke (Dinamarca); Flip y Flap (Rumania); O Bucha e O Stica (Portugal); Crick y Crok (Italia); Xonapoe y Aznoe (Grecia), etc.

Pero antes de formar pareja, el bagaje fílmico de ambos en solitario había sido extenso: Oliver (el gordo) trabajó en más de 270 peliculas (casi todo cortometrajes). Stan (el flaco) actuó en más de noventa cortometrajes; y el trabajo de ambos comprende 106 títulos: 32 cortos mudos, luego 40 sonoros, 24 largos, con apariciones especiales en otras películas. En total 440 titulos. Tan solo esta estadística, les coloca en la cima del tótem de los artesanos de Hollywood.

Una de las parejas cómicas más famosas e importantes de la historia del cine, su éxito radicó en que consiguieron entrelazar con ingenio las características básicas del cine cómico mudo con el humor propio del sonoro, alcanzando una elevada notoriedad en todo el mundo durante la década de los años 30.

Después de aparecer en cientos de títulos apoyando a cómicos de mayor status popular como Billy West, Charley Chase, Larry Semon, etc, en 1926 acabaría formando parte de la productora de Hal Roach y del grupete conocido como los Hal Roach Comedy All Stars. El avispado Roach y uno de sus empleados, el director y guionista Leo McCarey, pronto se dieron cuenta del potencial comercial ofrecido por la extraña y complementaria pareja Laurel & Hardy (uno arrogante y cabreado, el otro timorato y medroso), quienes consiguieron el éxito gracias a títulos como "You're darn Tootin'", "Duck soup", "Putting pants on Phillip", "Two tars" o "Big Business"..

Esta filmo está basada principalmente en el libro de Simon Louvish:"Stan & Ollie: las raices de la comedia. La doble vida de Laurel y Hardy" (T&B Editores, octubre de 2003). y otros datos sacados de las múltiples webs dedicadas a Los Chicos.

El orden de la filmografia es el siguiente:

• Oliver Hardy
• Stan Laurel
• Stan y Ollie como duo (antes de Laurel y Hardy)
• Cortos mudos
• Cortos sonoros
• Peliculas
• Cajon de sastre

Agradecimientos: juan_0316, Stromberg , bluegardenia, satantango. Y por supuesto a Stan y Ollie mi devota admiración
Nota: La calidad de los archivos es la que es, algunos están restaurados en la decada de los 90, otros colorizados (existe este palabro?), otros son realmente casi incunables (benditos sean los baules de la abuela, que guardan rollos de esta pareja).
Esta filmo en la actualidad está practicamente completa con todo lo que hay a día de hoy en la red, pero seguro que los fans conseguiréis más datos, por lo que se agradece cualquier colaboración.
Si algún link se quedara sin fuentes, colgaría de nuevo el archivo.

Oliver "Babe" Hardy

IMDB

Biografia:

Oliver Hardy (18 de enero de 1892 - 7 de agosto de 1957), nació en Harlem, Georgia, en el profundo sur, como Norvell Hardy, dándose a conocer posteriormente como Oliver (por su padre). Era un muchacho rechoncho que pasó su adolescencia en Milledgeville (en el hotel que regentaba su madre). De joven asistio a la Escuela Militar de Georgia. Luego pasó a una escuela de montaña en Carolina del Norte. Algunos biógrafos dicen que se licenció en derecho, pero no parece ser verdad.
Según la biografia de McCabe: Oliver hacia todo y de todo para ser popular (el gordito de la clase): le gustaba cantar, tenía buena voz, pero poca ambición. La afición por el teatro y por el canto de Hardy, provienen de la contemplación de las diversas actuaciones de cómicos que su madre contrataba para amenizar los momentos de ocio de los clientes del hotel.
Sus comienzos en el cine fueron como proyeccionista. Inauguró la primera sala de cine de Milledgeville (1910), el Electric Theatre. Ollie se traslada a Jacksonville (Florida) como cantante en bares de carretera.
Aparece por primera vez como actor secundario en la producción de Lubin (uno de los pioneros del cine, junto a Edison) "Outwitting Dad", aunque se rumorea que hay un corto anterior para los estudios Edison. La mayoria de los 270 cortos no se conserva, tan solo unos 100. Se especializa en papeles de malvado. Joseph P. Eckhardt, es el contrapeso de Ollie en la compañía Lubin.
Con la compañía Vim comedies, Ollie hace 65 cortos, desde nov-1915 hasta marzo-1917. "One too many" es el inicio de una serie de cortos con Billy Ruge haciendo la pareja conocida como Plump y Runt, aunque se cree que no había intención de formar pareja, sino que aparecen juntos. Se produjeron 35 pelis.
Más tarde Ollie figura como director en cortos de Vim. En 1916, la compañía Vim quiebra y King Bee absorbe Vim. Hace cortos junto a Billy West, un imitador de Chaplin. Esta compañía se traslada de Jacksonville a Bayonne (New Jersey) y luego a Hollywood. Son los inicios de Charley Chase (Charles Parrot).
Babe pasa a la compañía L-KO junto a Charley Chase y más tarde a Vitagraph con Larry Semon y Jimmy Aubrey, con el que actuó en 26 cortos interpretando al villano.
Entre la temporada de Aubrey y su ascenso a la compañía A de Vitagraph, con Larry Semon, Ollie interpreta un papel de ladrón en "The lucky dog" protagonizada por Stan para Amalgamated.. Fue un encuentro casual.
En 1919, inicia el ciclo de cortos con Larry Semon, con "Dull care". Larry Semon era el rey de la comedia en los primeros años de la decada de los 20. En España se le conoce como Jaimito o Tomasin.. Juntos protagonizan "The wonderful wizard of Oz-Tomasin en el reino de Oz", en 1925. Como anecdota, es Larry quien introduce a Babe en el golf. Larry fallece tras una depresión en 1928 con 39 años.
Posteriormente trabaja para Arrow pictures con Billy West y finalmente para la productora de Hal Roach junto a Charley Chase y con Leo McCarey como director: "Crazy like a fox", Isn't life terrible", "Wandering papas", "Madame mistery" (estas dos últimas dirigidas por Stan). En 1926 Ollie hace 11 peliculas y 8 en 1927 y un par fuera de Hal Roach: "A bankrupt honeymoon" (Fox company) y "Thundering fleas" un corto de La pandilla (Our gang) con James Finlayson y Charley Chase. Al final de su carrera hizo 3 peliculas en solitario, siendo la más destacada "The fighting Kentuckian" de 1949, haciendo pareja con John Wayne.

Biografia:

Arthur Stanley Jefferson (16 de junio de 1890 - 23 de febrero de 1965), nació en Ulverston (Gran Bretaña) en el seno de una familia de actores, debutando desde muy joven como intérprete y guionista en las tablas británicas.
Comenzó su carrera de cómico en el teatro como sustituto de Charlie Chaplin en la compañía teatral de Fred Karno en 1909, que se considera el descubridor de Stan y la fuerza que estaba detrás de Chaplin, contemporáneo de Stan.
Emigró a Estados Unidos en 1910 con la compañía de teatro, en la 2ª gira americana de Karno (1910). Charlie Chaplin era la estrella y Stan el novato.
El nombre de Laurel se cuenta que viene de una foto de Escipion el africano con una corona de laurel (este dato es dudoso).
Inicialmente fue pareja de teatro con Mae Dahlberg (luego conocida como Mae Laurel, aunque nunca se casaron). Fue coprotagonista en algunas de sus primera películas. Siguieron haciendo teatro hasta 1921.
Hizo su primera aparición en cine en 1917 con la película "Nuts in May"que no se conserva. Al parecer algunas escenas se incorporan a "Mixed Nuts", como la escena de la apisonadora.
Posteriormente en 1918 trabaja para L-KO siendo su primera pelicula "Phoney photos"; para Nestor comedies y para Universal studios.
En 1918 realiza la primera pelicula en Hollywood con Hal Roach. La poca fortuna comercial de sus títulos conllevaron la retirada temporal como actor de Stan a mediados de los años 20 y su incorporación en el equipo de Hal Roach como escritor de gags y en ocasiones, como director. Fue en los estudios Roach, donde Stan perfeccionó su, a menudo poco valorada faceta de guionista y director antes de su exitosa relación con Oliver Hardy, al que conoció en 1921 mientras ambos rodaban la película "The Lucky Dog", aunque no formarían pareja definitiva hasta 1927.
En 1918 pasa a Vitagraph, como secundario de pelis protagonizadas por Larry Semon, que luego produjo otra serie de películas con Ollie (el eslabon perdido entre ambos).
Stan trabaja para G.M.Anderson (Amalgamated productions), con peliculas como "Mixed Nuts" y "Mud and sand-Barro y arena" parodia de Sangre y arena de Rodolfo Valentino, interpretando a Ruibarbo Vaselino un joven torero de la España rural.
En 1923, firma un segundo contrato con Hal Roach. En 1924 trabaja también para Joe Rock: en "Monsieur don't care" vuelve como Ruibarbo Vaselino, parodia de Monsieur Beaucare de Rodolfo Valentino.
Más tarde pasa a Hal Roach productions como actor, guionista y director.
Como datos curiosos: modifico su nombre oficialmente (a Laurel) en 1931. Jamás solicitó la nacionalidad USA.

Stan y Ollie como duo

Stan y Ollie comienzan su andadura juntos con estos cortos. Inicialmente actúan por separado y poco a poco se va perfilando la familiar pareja, ya definitiva en el siguiente grupo de cortos mudos.
La mayoría de estos cortos fueron dirigidos por Fred Guiol y producidos por Hal Roach. Son los primeros trabajos con el que podemos llamar el tercero del trío James Finlayson. Otros actores habituales son Charley Chase, Mae Busch, Anita Garvin, Edna Marion, Viola Richard, Charlie Hall.
Roach tuvo la idea de juntar al cómico gordo con el cómico flaco como un recurso obvio y de fácil comicidad, pero de la química que hubo entre ambos surgió lo que sería uno de los dúos más cómicos y famosos del cine.

Su primer corto de 2 rollos junto a Stan Laurel fue "45 Minutes from Hollywood" interpretada por Glenn Tryon.
Fue en sus papeles de mayordomo donde Stan forja su propio personaje, nos anticipa el Laurel que conocemos. La mascara de mayordomo lleva a Stan a la antigua tradición del Arlequín criado rebelde.
En 1927 graban "Duck soup" que se podría catalogar como primera película como pareja, basada en "Home from the honeymoon", de Arthur Jefferson (padre de Stan). Se puede decir que es el primer corto de Ollie como protagonista. El personaje de Ollie todavía no está definido. Nadie sabe a ciencia cierta quien o como se juntó a la pareja, pero hay muchos pretendientes. Leo McCarey dirige los 2 Duck soup: ésta (como director supervisor) y la de los hermanos Marx de 1933.
En "Sailors beware" Stan deja a Babe inconsciente: "Ya me has metido en otro bonito lio…" (...another fine mess), frase tipica de Ollie.
"Do detectives think?" se podría considerar la primera pelicula de la pareja. Aparece la escena con el primer intercambio de bombines, tan típicas en sus películas. En aquel entoces se les tomó por una pareja gay (ahora también, si nos fijamos en muchas de sus escenas y en sus miradas gestuales a la cámara, con tanta pluma), pero nada más lejos de la realidad si nos fijamos en su historial matrimonial.
En 1927 Roach se separa de Pathé y trabaja para MGM. El primer film de MGM fue "Sugar Daddies", una especie de repetición de "Love 'em and weep".

Hal Roach: este productor se puede considerar el alma mater de la pareja. Se inicio en el cine como actor en New York (1912-13), relacionándose con Harold Lloyd.· En 1914 funda Rolin con Dan Linthicum, siendo Harold Lloyd protagonista, como Willie Work y luego como Lonesome Luke, imitando a Chaplin. Roach estrena sus pelis a través de la compañía Pathe. Otros actores que trabajaron para Roach fueron Our Gang (La pandilla), Charley Chase, Will Rogers, Earl Mohan, Clyde Cook, Mae Busch.

Cortos mudos

Estos primeros cortos mudos como pareja son supervisados por Leo McCarey. Convertido en vicepresidente y supervisor de toda la producción cómica del grupo de Roach, impuso un estilo propio, preciso y atento a los detalles más nimios, vigilando personalmente toda la producción antes de sacarla. Y fueron precisamente McCarey y Roach los que sacaron a pareja cómica formada por Stan Laurel y Oliver Hardy. En aquella época, Stan Laurel era un cómico que ganaba 100 dólares a la semana, y Oliver Hardy interpretaba obras menores. McCarey se dio cuenta de su potencial cómico, y les hizo trabajar juntos.
"The second hundred years" es la primera pelicula oficial de la pareja como Laurel y Hardy, aunque deberíamos considerarlo un trio (con Finlayson). Es una secuela de la obra teatral "Jail Birds" de Karno realizada 30 años antes.
En 1928 cuando se estrenan estos cortos, y se inicia su estrellato. Es la etapa final del cine mudo (The Jazz singer se estrena en oct-1927). El verdadero milagro del gran salto a la inmortalidad de Los Chicos, reside en que evitaron la barrera de la dolorosa transición de las películas mudas a las sonoras que dejó a muchos actores encallados en la orilla como las ballenas muertas.

Cortos sonoros

"Ni el Sr.Laurel ni el Sr.Hardy tuvieron inteciones de hacer algo malo. De hecho, no tenían pensamientos de ningún tipo." ("The Hoose-Gow")

Mucho material de estas primera peliculas sonoras es espontaneo. Se proyectaron tanto en la versión muda como sonora, sin intertítulos. Muchas dirigidas por James Parrott hermano de Charley Chase.
"Night owls" es la primera película que se filmó en versiones de lenguas extranjeras: español e italiano. Películas posteriores en frances y aleman. Stan y Ollie se aprenden el guion en esas lenguas fonéticamente y luego el estudio añadia escenas con otros actores secundarios de cada pais. Muchas veces se preestrenaban y luego se rehacian, según la reacción del público.
A finales de 1929 Hal Roach contrata a Karno de guionista durante un año.
En "Brats" se estrena la canción del cuco de T Marvin Martley, que se convertiría en el director musical de Roach. Este tema va tan ligado a la imagen de los chicos que más adelante el estudio reeditó todas las películas previas y les puso esa música.

Peliculas

Los años 30 fue la mejor etapa profesional para la pareja cómica. Sus primeras peliculas sin papeles protagonistas fueron "The Hollywood revue of 1929" junto a Buster Keaton y "The Rogue song" del que se conservan solo 2 fragmentos en color.
Su primer largometraje con papeles de protagonistas fue "Pardon Us"dirigida por James Parrott. "Sons of the desert" con Charley Chase, marca la cúspide de su carrera. Con este nombre se crea su club de fans en 1965, por John McCabe (su biógrafo) y Al Leigore.

El popular duo proseguiría su andadura a comienzos de la década de los 40, aunque sin rodar bajo producción de la compañía de Hal Roach, ya que rompieron el contrato para unirse a la 20Th Century Fox a causa de la imposibilidad de llegar a un acuerdo factible con el mítico empresario. Algunos comentan que las pelis posteriores a Roach, no deberían haberse hecho. Por sus problemas domésticos y del fisco, no se podían permitir dejar de trabajar.
En la Fox no lograrían reavivar sus obras más logradas y las películas de esta etapa resultan bastante prescindibles y rutinarias, sin la creatividad y libertad imaginativa carácterística de su etapa con Roach.
Ante la falta de éxito, Stan Laurel y Oliver Hardy (que eran grandes amigos en la vida real, aunque no hicieran vida social juntos) dejaron de contar para las productoras estadounidenses y encontraron acomodo en el mundo que les vio nacer como artistas, el music-hall. Hicieron algunas giras por Europa con gran éxito en el Reino Unido.
Su última película sería la muy floja co-producción italofrancesa "Atoll K" dirigida por Leo Joannon.

La distribuidora de TV Regal films adquiere los derechos de los filmes de Hal Roach. A partir de ellos se crearon pequeños episodios con títulos menores.
En 1961 se realiza una serie de animación para TV basada en Stan y Ollie, producida por Larry Hamon.
En 1960 Stan recibe un Oscar honorífico.

Tengo una duda. Recuerdo que en las versiones en castellano de las peliculas de este duo, las voces no parecian dobladas. Eran sus propias voces, con ese peculiar acento. ¿Acaso rodaban las escenas en ambos idiomas o me estoy equivocando respecto a las voces?.

En la filmografía aparece este curioso dato. Rodaban las escenas foneticamente en varios idiomas y repetían el mismo corto, cambiando incluso actores (p.e. en las versiones españolas había actores sudamericanos).
De momento por lo que he visto de alguna versión en castellano, me parece que son traducciones al castellano, más que las originales, aunque con acentillo inglés (en Stan, no en Ollie), pero no te lo puedo confirmar

Para juan_0316, siempre un pasito por delante de mi. Parece que tu mula busca en rincones insospechados, que mi mula no logra captar. Te agradezco la colaboración, aunque ahora nos pones en un brete: espero a que los pases a MPEG-4?. A tu disposición.
