5.0 out of 5 stars
A very, very funny Laurel & Hardy movie,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bonnie Scotland [1935] [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Bonnie Scotland was one of the first Laurel & Hardy movies I ever saw and I loved them straight away. In this movie, Stanley McLaurel and his friend Oliver Hardy come to Scotland, because of an inheritance. They hope to get lots of money. Well, as you might guess, they don't get it. Instead, they join up for the army (by mistake, all they really wanted was new suits). They go to India with the army. I would not want to spoil the ending for you, so I will stop here. I hopr that you found this helpful.

Good start, but one of the lesser Laurel & Hardy features,
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Bonnie Scotland [1935] [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"Bonnie Scotland" marks a turning point in Laurel & Hardy's career because from this point on the boys made only features. Traveling from America to Scotland to collect an inheritance, the boys discover all that is left of the estate is a snuff box. When their young friend William Janney is forced to join the Scottish Army, thereby preventing him from being able to marry the woman he loves (June Lang), the boys join up too. The trio are sent to India and the girl follows, so that her family can have more fun keeping the lovers apart, while Stan and Ollie try with limited success to adapt to life in the Scottish Army Everything works out in the end when our hero puts down a native uprising, helped by the boys.If "Bonnie Scotland" was intended to be a parody of "Lives of a Bengal Lancer," it sure misses many an opportunity. The first part of the film with Laurel & Hardy in Scotland is vastly superior in terms of not only comedy but also production values than the longer section set in India. This 1935 eight reeler directed by James Horne fails to exploit the big slapstick sequences and does not really have a big ending, it just sort of runs out of steam. The best comic moment is early on when the boys try to cook a fish in their Scottish hotel room. Daphne Pollard, a wee bit of a lass, steals her all too few scenes as a Scotch lady's maid but the film fails to take advantage of the boy's comic foil James Finlayson as the boy's sergeant.
