Film Description

In Utopia, their last film together, Stan and Ollie fly to London for the reading of a Stan’s late uncle’s will. After all of Stan’s uncle’s cash is used to pay the solicitors, death duties and tax the only thing left are a yacht and South Sea Island! At the docks they take receipt if their yacht and also a displaced seaman and a stowaway. Together the four set sail but are shipwrecked on an atoll during a storm. There they meet singer Cherie L’amour who is escaping her fiancee. When he turns up unexpectedly to chart the atoll he discovers it to be rich in uranium and soon the superpowers want it. Meanwhile the five occupants form their own government and vote Oliver the Governor! Can he save their island?

Laurel and Hardy's last film is more disturbing than it is comic. Rarely seen before it's release on video, it was made in Europe in 1951, six years after the boys had ended their US film careers at Fox. Laurel, very ill during the shoot, looks frightening - he looked better ten years later. Nevertheless, Utopia (or Atoll K, as it was also known as) is a must for L&H completists.
