Unaccustomed As We Are (1929) was the first "talkie" featuring Laurel & Hardy. In it Ollie invites Stan home for dinner. After having lauded the cooking of his wife they enter the apartment which has a floor model talking machine standing directly by the door.
It turns out that Mrs. Hardy is less than pleased with this unannounced visit. She starts arguing, and trying to get away from this Ollie starts playing a record. This gets Mrs. Hardy even more furuios and she grabs the record and smashes it over her husband's head.
The she leaves the appartment and the story - and troubles - go on.
I have a very fine restored version of this film on DVD and would love to upload a screenshot, but I don't know how to make one. Maybe MordEth or some other tech savy person could tell me how to? (I'm using an iMac with Mac OS X, version 10.5.1).

If you are using a Mac, it is simple to do a screenshot. Just pause the movie at the point you wish to copy, then press and hold
"Shift, Command and 4" until a "crosshair" appears, to copy a portion of your screen. Place the crosshair at a corner of the picture you wish to copy and then hold your left mouse button while dragging the outline that appears to cover the portion of your screen that you wish to copy... Let go of the mouse button when you have outlined the portion of the image you wish to capture... done. Pay attention to where the screenshot is saved - normally to your desktop, so you can retrieve it to post or save for whatever use.
If you just want to copy the entire screen, press
"Shift, Command and 3", if you wish to record something on your screen, press
"Shift, Command and 5"... easy to do.
