Oliver Hardy, Dorothy Dwan and Larry Semon film still. The central figure is a woman with wide, startled eyes and a shocked expression. She is wearing a light-colored dress with a ruffled bodice and a striped skirt. She has a small hat with a black and white striped design and black ribbons resting in her lap. Her hair is styled in a bob with curls and adorned with a ribbon. On either side of the woman are two men, both wearing straw hats. The man on the left is dressed in denim overalls over a light-colored shirt. He has a concerned expression. The man on the right is wearing striped overalls over a white shirt and a bow tie. He also has a surprised expression, mirroring the woman's reaction. The three figures are seated against a large tree trunk, which serves as a backdrop. The background suggests an outdoor setting, possibly a rural area. The ground appears to be dirt or gravel. A partial view of a wagon wheel is visible on the left side.

Remembering Ennio Morricone on his birthday 🎂
📷 Guido Harari, 1998

"Morricone’s music is anything but a backdrop. It’s sometimes a conspirator, sometimes a lampoon, with tunes that are as vividly in the foreground as any of the actors’ faces."
- Jon Pareles

Morricone hides behind an elaborate door; we can only see his body, with a score in his hand. In place of his face, his trademark eyeglasses.
