Way Out West (1937)
In 1975, when Stan and Ollie dominated holiday telly schedules, they reached number two in the UK charts with a rendition of ‘The Trail of the Lonesome Pine’, a song that sums up the enduring appeal of this deftly parodic western. However, their soft-shoe routine to ‘At the Ball, That’s All’ better epitomises the gauche grace that underpinned Laurel and Hardy’s clowning.
In Brushwood Gulch to give the deeds to a mine to the daughter of their late partner, The Boys are duped by avaricious saloon owner James Finlayson and his brassy wife, played by Sharon Lynne, who tickles Laurel into a state of helpless hilarity during the masterly bedroom chase sequence.
Join us for a light lunch first of soup and sandwiches, then settle down for the afternoon in the Bijou Cinema. Please state either tomato or chicken soup on booking.
