	Movies - Way Out West

Way Out West is a 1937 comedy film starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, James Finlayson, and Rosina Lawrence. The film was the second Laurel and Hardy picture for which Stan Laurel was credited as producer (the first was 1936's Our Relations); Laurel had served in that capacity uncredited for the duo's entire career. Way Out West was executive produced by Hal Roach, directed by James W. Horne, and released to theatres on April 16 1937 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

The film's score, composed by Marvin Hatley and performed in part by the Avalon Boys, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Score. Way Out West includes the famous songs "On The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine" and "At The Ball, That's All", the former sung by Laurel and Hardy (except for opening few lines) and the latter by The Avalon Boys. "At The Ball, That's All" is accompanied by Laurel and Hardy performing an extended dance routine, one which they rehearsed endlessly.

In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted Way Out West the 26th greatest comedy film of all time.
