County Hospital

County Hospital (1932) is a Laurel and Hardy short you can watch online on iFILM, directed by James Parrott. Oliver Hardy is laid up with a broken leg, the cast hoisted to the ceiling. Stan Laurel has arrived to visit — which is already a problem.

In nineteen minutes, the film delivers the full measure of what makes this duo work: Ollie suffering with wounded dignity while Stan, meaning every bit of well, does everything wrong. What happens in the hospital room is bad enough. What happens in the car on the way home is worse. Watch County Hospital online on iFILM.
