Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
One of Laurel and Hardy's greatest efforts in the full-length form. They play a pair of unlikely prospectors whose best pal has died, leaving the deed to a rich gold mine. It's up to them to deliver the deed to his daughter. She, however, is a scullery maid in the saloon of unsavory Jimmy Finlayson, who tries to pass off his own wife as the grieving heiress. This film includes several classic moments, including a delightful song-and-dance by L&H and a struggle over the deed itself, in which Stanley is tickled nearly to death. Try to avoid laughing at Laurel's infectious braying--it can't be done. --Marshall Fine

- SIMPLY AMONG THEIR BEST
Way Out West is generally regarded as Laurel and Hardy's best feature film.Next to Sons Of The Desert.It is the only other L&H film to be a Stan Laurel Production(the other being Our Relations from a year earlier).Definetly one of my favourite L&H films.Not a dull moment in the movie.Rarely do we actually see Stan laugh.Not only is this one of their films where Oliver sings beautifully,but Stan also sings with a cartoonish trick voice.There are a lot of special effects in this movie as well.Such as Stan igniting his thumb,the boys running away from the sheriff in fast motion,and Stan trying to pull Ollie out of a trapdoor by the head and stretching Ollie's neck impossibley high in the process.
Way Out West was definetly a must for my Laurel & Hardy collection!

- Singing Comedians
In this film Stan and Ollie are sent out West to deliver an inheritance to a nice, sweet girl who is unfairly treated by her mean guardians Mr. Finn and his wife. The inheritance is a deed to a gold mine, and when the greedy Mr. Finn hears of this he disguises his wife as the girl who is supposed to get the deed, and Stan and Ollie are duped into giving the deed to the wrong person as a result. In the end though, after much effort, the deed is restored to the proper and deserving person, and she heads down south to Dixie with Stan and Ollie, Stan being from the South himself ("the South of London").

I used to love this film as a kid. I laughed so much when Ollie told Stan, "If you don't eat that hat, I'll tie you to a tree and let the buzzards get ya." I still love this movie, but not as much as I used to. I've developed more of a taste for faster-paced comedies like the Three Stooges and the Marx ... Read More

- So where's the DVD???
Does anyone know why so many of the minor shorts are available from L&H...but this classic is still only available on VHS? Is it a public domain film? Why isn't it a Criterion DVD? Every piece of garbage from last year is available on DVD...but not this...and so many other classics!

- Best Laurel & Hardy Flick
I used to think "Flying Deuces" was the best Laurel & Hardy flick. That is of course until I saw this picture..."Way Out West" is the funniest Laurel & Hardy picture I've seen. It involved a deed for a goldmine left to Mary Roberts and Laurel & Hardy have to deliver the deed. Unfortunately they meet up with Mary Roberts guardians...the Woman Lola pretends to be Mary and gets the deed from Laurel & Hardy...realizing their mistake later on when meeting the real Mary Roberts Laurel & Hardy must go and get back the deed, leading into some hilarious moments. A must have for a Laurel & Hardy fan and just a great overall comedy for any comedy fan.
