The story is very fanciful .
Here they are in 1953/4, referring to a picture planned for 1947 which never was made , "Robin Hood".
By 1952/3/4 , they were there also to promote "atoll k" (aka "Robinson Crusoeland "), made 1950/1 in France .
The real story was that Stan was so sensitive to ollies well being , he cancelled the final tour , and decided to return to the states to set up their retirement !
He never would have screwed w his partners health to keep a tour going ! In fact , Stan was very cautious about launching an American tv series because of the team's health problems .
After Hardy passed , Stan retired .
There are some very fine scenes , terrific cinematography - apparently the production visited various locales in Europe the Boys actually visited .
So the storyline is very bogus , Stan (and the wives ) are greatly exaggerated and given very rough edges .
