Laurel & Hardy: The Fox Years is a nice tribute to the boys during perhaps their most trying of years in making movies
Despite the glossing over of Stan's eventual bitterness over his and Ollie's off-screen treatment by "those Fox people", this was quite a nice tribute to their charms they give to their cast and crew of that studio's pictures they made for them. Terry Moore, who was 12 or 13 when she appeared in their 1942 pic, A Haunting We Will Go, recounts how that comedy team would tease her and the other kids on set. There are also many charming photos of Stan and his adult daughter Lois whenever she visited her father. I also liked the comments of writer Rich Correll, son of Charles Correll who played Andy on radio's "Amos 'n' Andy", of hearing Stan doing his Stan-like greeting when Rich called him unexpectedly when he was a kid and of Scott MacGillivray, author of "Laurel & Hardy: From the Forties Forward", wishing the team could have made a few more films past their last one for Fox-The Bullfighters-since by that time in '45, they seemed to have more creative freedom though that may have been because of the studio's decision to fold their B-picture unit by that time. So on that note, this DVD extra from The Bullfighters DVD is worth seeing for L & H fans, like me! P.S. This review is dedicated in memory of Lois Laurel-Hawes, who died a couple of years ago.
