We never got to meet each other but we discussed plans to do so in the near future.
You showed a tremendous amount of support for me, my work and my website over the years.
You sent me your books, you sent me that precious Pepsi radio from your collection, you sent me generous donations for the site.
I was so proud that you were the first person to ever put my name in a book.
You did so much for me, but your friendship was the one thing that I will treasure the most.
A page on my site is dedicated to your work, with my most sincere thanks and gratitude.

God bless, my friend. 🙏

Welcome to ANOTHER NICE MESS. This website aims to cover review of films made by the Hal Roach Studios between 1914-1948;
as well as the individual films featuring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Charley Chase and the post-Roach Our Gang short films.

This is not a fan-made, kiss-ass website. I am NOT a "Laurel & Hardy fan" and my reviews are unbiased.
Reviews and opinions herein are my own and occasionally contain very negative remarks which some people may find offensive.

If you would like to make a small contribution to the site, this will be acknowledged with a personal reply* and a credit on the site.
(*if I have your contact details).


ON THIS DAY: APRIL 22

A complete list of monthly updates made on this website will be made available exclusively to anybody who supports the site with a minimum £5 donation for this month.
All donations will receive a personal reply.

When works previously published are used to compile the data on this site I have given credit where known.
The IMDb, whom on occassion I have consulted for information are not acknowledged as a source as they have repeatedly stolen and published my screenshots without any credit.
This is the only acknowledgement I will afford them.
