As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

     A Chump at Oxford
1940  NR  COMEDY  1h 3min
CAST— Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Wilfred Lucas, Forrester Harvey, James Finlayson, Anita Garvin
MUSIC— Marvin Hatley  DIRECTOR— Alfred Goulding

     Laurel and Hardy at their best. After seeking a meager living at blue-collar jobs (one of which includes Stan in drag) the guys nab a holdup man, purely by accident, of course. As a reward they are given an education at the prestigious Oxford University. Upon arrival they’re enthusiastically greeted by a band of jolly-good pranksters with no higher ambition than to torture the newbies. Classic L&H features memorable hedge-row maze sequences and offers a glimpse of a very young Peter Cushing. Don’t miss out.
