16MM FEATURE - WAY OUT WEST - 1937 - LAUREL & HARDY
Good condition print(see screen shots). No VS. Sound. Blackhawk print. Mounted on 2x1600' reels.
I can't possibly watch every film all the way through. Only the first couple of minutes have been watched. Please bid accordingly. If I list a film as good condition it does not mean "excellent or mint".<...br>PLEASE SEE FILM GRADING SCALE BELOW:
Mint or New: Means just that. It may have been run, but still physically looks mint, untouched by a projector.
Near Mint: Only the slightest signs of having been run. Appears Mint when projected on the screen.
Like New: Can be older print that was well taken care of. May have only the slightest signs of use, occasional minor light line or splice or minor cue mark, if any. Starting at this level, older prints may have a little curl to the film, which is common.
Excellent+: Very minimal wear or light lines at times with an occasional, although seldom, splice. No major repairs or missing scenes transitions from TV use.
Excellent: Will have some minimal wear or light lines and may have an occasional temporary light emulsion line, a few splices or minor repair. Possibly some short lap dissolves or minor cue marks around transitional scenes if it was used by a TV station, but highly acceptable condition.
Very Good: Will have some wear and lines, cue marks, minor repairs and usually more splices than desirable. An occasional emulsion scratch.
Good: The same as Very Good but with more scratches, wear and some spots that may be splicy from having been damaged. Still watchable.
Fair or Poor: Will need to be checked for extensive repairs before running. I usually will never even list anything in this condition, only if a desirable title.

Prospectors Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy head to the western town of Brushwood Gulch, two men on a top-secret mission. The boys have been entrusted by their recently deceased partner Cy Roberts with a deed to a valuable gold mine, to be delivered in person to Roberts' daughter Mary (Rosina Lawrence). Stan inadvertently spills the beans to crooked saloon owner Mickey Finn (James Finlayson), who proceeds to pass off his own wife, saloon chanteuse Lola Marcel (Sharon Lynne), as Mary Roberts. The ever-trusting Stan and Ollie fall for the subterfuge hook, line and sinker, handing the deed over to Lola. Upon running into the real Mary, who slaves away in Mickey Finn's kitchen, Our Heroes vow to retrieve the deed. A battle royale ensues, with Stan, Ollie, Mickey and Lola passing the deed around like a football. Ultimately, Lola manages to wrest the deed away from Stan by tickling him into helpless submission. Chased out of town by the sheriff (Stanley Fields), who harbors a grudge against the boys from a previous misunderstanding, Stan and Ollie sneak back to Brushwood Gulch in the dead of night, hoping to break into Finn's saloon, steal back the deed, and place it firmly in the hands of Mary Roberts. Upon this foundation is built Way Out West, arguably Laurel & Hardy's best feature film (many aficionados prefer Sons of the Desert). Highlights include the aformentioned tickling and burglary scenes, Stan literally eating his hat after losing a bet, Ollie's perennial plunges into a pothole, and the boys' charming singing-and-dancing interludes. Also take note of Marvin Hatley's Oscar-nominated musical score, and the presence of a young, thin Chill Wills as one of "The Avalon Boys". Even if you're not a fan of The Thin One and The Fat One, you'll be limp with laughter at the end of Way Out West.
