ATOLL K on ARTE

Post by todmichel » Fri Apr 18, 2014 6:06 am

Some months ago, the German/French channel showed the last movie of Laurel & Hardy, ATOLL K, also known as UTOPIA. Nothing exceptional - it was never a lost movie in France anyway, but it was a real event as it was shown in English, with French subtitles (or German, despending of the channel) and totally uncut (more than 100 minutes). So, we got Stan & Ollie's real voices but, as it seems (I'm not entirely sure) Suzy Delair dubbed herself as well. The title on the print was ATOLL K.

Never be sucked in by anything claiming to be "remastered" or "best quality transfer" for this film...the BEST way to enjoy this one is to find the softest, most washed-out print you can. I'm serious about this, the less detail on Stan's face, the better.
