Marvin Hatley was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Music (Score) for Way Out West (1938).
“Sons Of The Desert” production number (1933) Audio from the internal studio production disc of Marvin Hatley's 1933 song; "Honolulu Baby". I cleaned up the sound a bit & synced the image to the sound of the recording as close as I could. You will hear Marvin Hatley's piano solo without dialogue. The crooner was a Dick Powell "knock-off"... Ty Parvis. The hula dancer was billed as "Charita". The audio from this internal studio recording & others will be included as “extras” in the forthcoming Laurel & Hardy DVD/Blu-ray set due to be released on June 16, 2020.
The Mad Kuku (1938) Internal Studio Recording
The Hal Roach studio orchestra under the direction of Marvin Hatley
Composed for use in the films “Blockheads” (1938) & “Saps at Sea” (1940).
Do Ghosts have milk? Perfect music for the horn factory, or when the phone rings in your apartment or when your kitchen range explodes while trying to boil coffee! (It reminds me of going shopping...) The Dance of The Cuckoos theme has been turned inside & out to form the Mad KuKu!
Anyway, doubtless Laurel & Hardy fans will recognize this frantic tune playing from “Blockheads” & “Saps At Sea”. It accompanied Mr. Hardy’s breakdown as well. “Wot happened?”
