The 'Holy Grail' of #LaurelAndHardy films, 'Hats Off', is missing. Help find it before it turns 100 in 2027. Contact us with any info on the film's location.

[FindingHatsOff @FindingHatsOff]

Hats Off was released on November the 5th 1927. Last publicly shown in Germany in 1930. It is now considered lost. With your help we can find it before it turns 100 years old in 2027.

@grok Do you know where a copy of the lost #LaurelAndHardy film 'Hats Off' is located? Would it be possible to remake the film using A.I. & the existing stills & script from the original film?

Has #HatsOff been found? Unfortunately not but Unreeled8 on Youtube has made a valiant attempt at reconstructing the 'considered lost' film using stop motion.

The search for #StanAndOllie's 'holy grail', #HatsOff continues but who will discover it first, AI or @MattHolt76 when he makes a much needed documentary about the quest to locate a copy? Time to think like a detective. Via Chicago Bacon Grabbers on Facebook.

Did you know that 'Hats Off' was remade by the same director, Hal Yates, in 1945 as 'It's Your Move', starring Edgar Kennedy? Located in the same area as 'The Music Box' steps the 'Descanso Stairs' steps were used.

Poll: Laughter fans, until such times as #HatsOff can be found, would you like to see the film either recreated as an animation or as live action with Steve Coogan & John C. Reilly or other actors portraying #StanAndOllie as a tribute to The Boys?

Let's be big, bigger than we''ve ever been before. How about @BritPanopticon hosts 'Last Dance Of The Cuckoos' followed by @JeffHolland07's #StanLaurel show, then sugg. new doc, finale being prem. of, hopefully, newly found, restored #HatsOFF + Q&A on 100th ann. of release? 😉👍

[Laurel & Hardy News @laurelHardyNews]

Well, this is interesting & encouraging laughter fans. Let's hope @MattHolt76's pants are dry & he's formulating a plan! 👍😉

We have idea & demand for doc. about #FindingHatsOff, possible title. Idea for prem. at @BritPanopticon with doc & @JeffHolland07's show. @JeffHolland07 would be interested in being involved. Just need @MattHolt76, @SpoonJarFilms & @HardyBlog to make it happen now. 😉👍

@PT_Ben94 @ONorvellHardy @ArthurStanleyJ @BillyGilbertLH @CharlieHallLH @JamesHFinlayson @laurelHardyNews @MaeBuschLH Patrick of @HardyBlog is probably the person to ask. He is in touch with several of the top #LaurelAndHardy experts who have done a lot of research on The Boys & their films. If the will is there to find it & at least one print survives hidden away sonewhere then why not?

[FindingHatsOff @FindingHatsOff]

Ollie at the thought of #HatsOff being discovered in time for the 100th anniversary of it's release in 2027.

@laurelHardyNews @MattHolt76 @SpoonJarFilms @BillyGilbertLH @JamesHFinlayson @MaeBuschLH @CharlieHallLH @ONorvellHardy "Well, I got a good idea".

Perhaps @JeffHolland07 or @HardyBlog could be asked if they want to present / narrate the suggested documentary?

95% of #LaurelAndHardy enthusiasts, who expressed a preference, would like @MattHolt76 of @SpoonJarFilms to make a follow up documentary to 'Last Dance Of The Cuckoos' about the quest to find the, 'holy grail', #StanAndOllie film #HatsOff. 5% want to know "what time?".

"Well, I got a good idea".

'Last Dance Of The Cuckoos' should be part of a series of #LaurelAndHardy documentaries. Next in the series could be titled 'Finding Hats Off - Quest For Stan And Ollie's Holy Grail'. @SpoonJarFilms @MattHolt76 @andyholl @LostGlasgow @BritPanopticon
