In time for the holidays, here is a
fascinating audio interview with "Babes in Toyland" star Felix
Knight.
When first released, this 1990
interview caused somewhat of a stir due to Mr. Knight's comments
on difficulties he experienced working with Oliver Hardy in this
1934 production.
Conducted by Laurel and Hardy author
and Boston Brats Grand Sheik Scott MacGillivray, the interview
also covers Mr. Knight's recollections of the atmosphere on "Babes
in Toyland" (aka "March of the Wooden Soldiers") and his
description of co-star Charlotte Henry and her unhappy life.
In addition to praising what he terms
as the "genius" of Stan Laurel, Felix Knight also discusses his
own work in other films and his connection with the Sons of the
Desert.
The interview was recorded at the Sons
7th International Convention in Clearwater, Florida.
