(Fra/Ita 1951)
Sirius/Franco-London/Fortezzo. 82m. bw

Laurel and Hardy inherit an island which turns out to be loaded with uranium, and they soon find themselves overrun with fellow islanders.
Tired last film entry for this beloved duo (although as Stan and Ollie demonstrates, they still had a few active years ahead of them), something of a reversion back to their old style, but in a rag-bag of a European co-production, with an emaciated looking Stan. The end of the line cinematically for the Boys, but still funnier than most of their contemporaries of the time.
