This 35mm screening, which is also being shown on January 14th, is one of a number of Laurel and Hardy shorts and features on at BFI Southbank in January to coincide with the release of the new movie ‘Stan and Ollie’. You can find all the details here. The film will be accompanied by the short, the Laurel and Hardy Murder Case (also being screened from a 35mm print).
Chicago Reader review:
One of the last of the first-class Laurel and Hardy features (1939), this is an amiably sloppy affair about two street cleaners who win scholarships to Oxford. Stan has a chance to stretch out a little in a double role, and there is a recap of the classic butler-maid routine from the 1928 From Soup to Nuts. With James Finlayson, Wilfrid Lucas, and Peter Cushing in his punk days; directed by Alf Goulding.
