Stan and Ollie Create a Government




"Utopia" is Laurel and Hardy's last movie. While not their best by a long shot, it does have one golden scene (about 6 minutes into the clip).

Stan and Ollie and other castaways decide to form a government. They write a constitution which stipulates that there will be no taxes, laws, and money. After doling out all the top positions, such as president and foreign minister, however. Stanley is upset because he does not get an appoitnment. Ollie reassures him with the classic line: "Stanley, you're the people."
