Still from Bonnie Scotland (1935)

Bonnie Scotland (1935)

(James W. Horne, US 1935, 80 min., 35mm) 


The seventh feature film to star the singular Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in lead roles, this is a rarely screened gem.  Stan and Ollie stow away to Scotland in hopes of inheriting the riches of the MacLaurrel estate, but wind up getting more than they bargained for when they inadvertently join a Scottish military regiment stationed in India.  Soon the boys are knee deep in a murder plot, beehives, and even more unexpected lunacy. No stranger to comedies about foreign service, Stan and Ollie joined the French Foreign Legion in both Beau Hunks (1931) and The Flying Deuces (1939). A Laugh-out-loud classic.

About This Series

Mid-Century Comedies

Following the enforcement of the Hays Code in the middle of 1934, the Hollywood studios had more restrictions and guidelines to follow in making their films, which affected not only the gangster, horror, and exploitation genres, but also comedies.
