A Chump at Oxford | Stan Laurel | Oliver Hardy

A Chump at Oxford - As a reward for capturing a bank robber, Stan and Ollie get scholarships to Oxford, but are met with resentment by other students. A Chump at Oxford (1940) Director: Alfred J. Goulding Writers: Charley Rogers, Felix Adler, Harry Langdon Stars: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Forrester Harvey Genre: Comedy, Family Country: United States Language: English Release Date: February 16, 1940 (United States) Filming Location: Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, California, USA Synopsis: With Stan in drag, the boys get jobs as a married butler and maid for a dinner party at the Vandeveres. When that ends in disaster, they're reduced to sweeping streets, and accidentally capture a bank robber. The grateful bank president sends them to Oxford for a proper education. There they become victims of student pranks, getting lost in the university's maze, and taking over the Dean's quarters as their own; but, then a knock on the head turns Stan into the famed Lord Paddington, scholar and athlete extraordinaire. Suddenly erudite and supercilious, he retains Oliver as his valet, Fatty. Reviews: Laurel and Hardy wreck James Finlayson's dinner party. Then as street sweepers, they stop a bank robber. The bank's president, in gratitude, sends them to Oxford University, where they are hazed by the students -- who range in age from 26 -- Peter Cushing, in his second movie -- to 51. Then Stan gets bonked on the head and recalls his previous life as genius Lord Paddington. This was issued as one of Hal Roach's streamliners, minus the Finlayson episode, then at its current length, The boys are in fine form, reusing their old gags for new purposes, and Stan demonstrating he could play a different comic character for the first time since their first short together. Because of the addition of the dinner party, this one has an episodic feel: a two-reeler with Finlayson, a one-reeler as street sweepers, a two-reeler during the hazing, and a one-reeler as Stan plays a genius. I have no complaints. The gags are always freshly improvised, and there's no sign of flagging in the partnership. - written by "boblipton" on IMDb.com Also Known As (AKA): (original title) A Chump at Oxford Australia A Chump at Oxford Austria Sprung ins Glück Belgium De boemelstudenten(Flemish) Belgium Les as d'Oxford(French) Brazil Dois Palermas em Oxford Bulgaria Лаурел и Харди в Оксфорд(Bulgarian) Canada A Chump at Oxford(English) Chile Dos Bobos en Oxford Denmark Gøg og Gokke i Oxford Denmark Laurel & Hardy i Oxford(premiere title) Finland Lorvista loordiksi Finland Lorvista lordiksi(TV Title) France Les As d'Oxford Germany Dick und Doof als Studenten Greece Ta koutsoura tis Oxfordis(transliterated title) Greece Ο Χονδρός και ο Λιγνός μπουρλοτιέρηδες(reissue title) Greece Τα κούτσουρα της Οξφόρδης Hungary Stan és Pan, az oxfordi diákok India Chump in College(English, Alternative Title) Italy Noi siamo le colonne Mexico Dos Bobos en Oxford Netherlands Als boemelstudenten(informal literal title) Netherlands Boemelstudenten New Zealand A Chump at Oxford(English) Norway To genier i Oxford Poland Głupek w Oksfordzie Portugal Campeões de Oxford Romania Stan și Bran: Un prostănac la Oxford Soviet Union Чамп в Оксфорде(Russian) Spain Estudiantes en Oxford Sweden Helan och Halvan - skolans skräck(reissue title) Sweden Skandal i Oxford Turkey Lorel-Hardi Mektepte(Turkish) United Kingdom A Chump at Oxford United States A Chump at Oxford United States Dos Bobos en Oxford(Spanish) West Germany Dick und Doof in der Schule(reissue title) West Germany Laurel & Hardy - In Oxford West Germany Wissen ist Macht ···················································································· ✘ Website: https://www.artflix.info FOLLOW US! ✘ Twitter - https://twitter.com/Artflixtv SUPPORT US! ✘ Membership: https://bit.ly/33nGlVm MORE MOVIES! ► Film Noir: https://bit.ly/3yP7UR2 ► Classic Movies: https://bit.ly/2VhJRN2 ► All Playlists: https://bit.ly/2AsmqTR #classicmovies #filmnoir #colorizedmovies ···················································································· COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
