UTOPIA * (Released World-Wide 1951)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì  Utopia—Laurel and Hardy's last film—attempts to place more weight for the story's comedy by adding additional cast members and layering stories to increase interest. The comedy team is struggling to keep their act in the public eye and this work effort does not help them accomplish that aim. Their type of comedy has passed. While this attempt endeavors to enter the new age, it fails.  Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images  Storyline  Laurel gets an inheritance and goes to claim it with Oliver Hardy.   Additional Thanks Thank you to Director Leo Joannon for directing effort. Thank you to Producer Raymond Eger for making the film possible. Cast includes Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, and Suzy Delair.   Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?  Maybe. It is not one of  Laurel and Hardy's best works. *Also known as Atoll "K" in France and Robinson Crusoeland in the United Kingdom Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers
