I actually saw a portion of this (the last half only) on YouTube and apparently Chuck McCann did the voices for both Stan and Ollie. I'm so glad I got to see it. I didn't think it deserves the bashing it often gets. I think it was done quite well (although the voice-over for Charlie Hall is completely wrong in timbre). I don't know that I would prefer the sound version to its original silent form, but it makes for a really neat curio. It is available on one of the "Laurel & Hardy & Friends" DVD's. I think it's Volume 7. What I have been able to find out about it is that it was done as an experiment intended to be somewhat of an homage to the boys which I believe because McCann is known to be a huge L&H devotee and I don't think he would participate in anything that he would feel was disrespectful to the memories of Stan and Ollie.

Caught a Super 8 Sound of this many years ago, but didn't buy it - Might still be floating - Did watch it on the L&H Show, via WOR-TV years back

I once heard this and his vocal renditions of Stan and Laurel were uncanny, but I still prefer the lads themselves, without any help.
