Laurel And Hardy DVD. A Chump At Oxford. I had watched a larger collection on DVD before. Three films. Recently there was some Yanny nonsense. First starts of as the duo are looking for work. They eventually are enlisted at Oxford Uni. The local Brits decide to have a little fun with them. You can view it in b&w or colour. You may have also seen Charlie Chaplin, The Marx Brothers and Buster Keaton. Cert U. 1930-40. 
 From Soup To Nuts is a silent film. Very old quality. A shout out should be given to the other cast members. Stan and Oliver have been hired as Waiters at a mansion. Visual slapstick comedy. It does get me thinking about the era and racial segregation. I will see of there are any descendants of the actors. What happened with the other cast? Mayhem and misunderstanding. Old school classics. Another Fine Mess is a talkie. There was an intro by twins. A rich property is for rent. It has characters that you would see from previous films. The owner of the home has gone on vacation. Laurel and Hardy are on the run from the police. The service staff have left the place unattended and so that leaves our heroes. A couple have arrived to rent the home as advertised. The character of Agnus was first used here. The man has a weird laugh.
