Way Out West

Way Out West (1937) is a slapstick western comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are given a straightforward errand: deliver a gold mine deed to the daughter of a dead prospector. Straightforward for most people, anyway.

The obstacle is a scheming guardian named Mickey Finn, who has already decided that mine is his, along with his saloon-singer wife Lola. Directed by James W. Horne in a tight 64 minutes, the film is essentially a delivery vehicle for the duo's physical comedy — the hat gag, the piano number, the relentless mutual incompetence that made them the most beloved comedy team of their era.
