This dance became the theme of this years “Just for Laughs” festival in Montreal …

Sweet Dance

Again this year we had a wonderful time at the festival. For the second time we went with our friends Rick and Peggy Villeneuve. We timed our visit so that we could see the USA and Canadian entries in the “International Fireworks Competition” (neither won) & a wonderful Cirque du Soleil performance of Totem.

The video portion is from, Way Out West a Laurel and Hardy comedy film released in 1937. It was directed by James W. Horne, produced by Stan Laurel and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Quotes from the film …

Ollie to the Sheriff’s wife: “A lot of weather we’ve been having lately”
Lola: “Tell me, tell me about my dear dear daddy, is it true that he’s dead?”
Stan : “Well we hope he is, they buried him.”
Lola : “Oh it can’t be, what did he die of?”
Stan : “I think he died of a Tuesday, or was it Wednesday…”
Ollie: “Every cloud has a silver lining”
Stan: “That’s right, any bird can build a nest, but it isn’t everyone who can lay an egg!”
Stan (to Lola): “Now that you’ve got the deed, I bet you’ll make a swell gold digger.”
