Film Dope


Zenobia

Elephants Never Forget

1939

Gordon Douglas
Director

Could this have been the first time ever that Hardy received top billing in a film? With the obvious lack of Stan Laurel (due to a contract dispute with producer Hal Roach), Ollie plays a town doctor in a small western town in 1870, who, against his better judgment ends up treating a sick circus elephant (Zenobia). But when its owner (a very irritating and unlikeable Langdon) realises his favourite pet is more affectionate to the doctor than himself his jealousy leads him into taking action.

Hard-to-find movie which is historical if only for the fact that it's nice to see Hardy's acting capabilities without Stan, and also playing a straight role for a change.
