Does anyone have any leads whatsoever on where I might be able to buy a recording which contains this one specific short, particularly if contains the backstory? I remember a show I taped twenty-some-odd years ago which featured a few clips and part of the backstory for this one, and I am *SO* dying to get as complete a copy as I can.
From what I can remember of the backstory, "One Good Turn" was born one lazy evening when Ollie dropped by at Stan's invitation to join he and his family for dinner. Stan's very young daughter answered the door, saw Ollie standing there, and erupted with the longest most ear-piercing scream that anyone within five miles had ever heard. "That's the man that always beats up on my Daddy!!"
It took quite some time for Stan and his wife to calm the girl down, trying to explain to their daughter how it was all pretend and that he and Ollie were actually good friends and very much enjoyed their usual antics. Being a typically suspicious tyke (as most girls that age have a slight paranoia that they're being placated) simply stomped one foot and demanded, "Then why don't *you* (pointing to her father, Stan) beat *HIM* (pointing to Ollie) up for a change?!?"
Stan and Ollie just looked at each other for a moment, then smiled impishly as one of the greatest 'payback' sequences ever filmed was born.
Is it any wonder why I so dearly want to find a copy of this rare treasure?
