Yeah Jim,
I have to agree with you the bohemian girl was not one of their best feature films! I went to bid on chump at oxford on ebay and my cox cable internet server went down and I missed it at the last minute of bidding.

A CHUMP AT OXFORD is available in 2 versions -- 42 minutes and 63 minutes -- both from Blackhawk. They are actually 2 different cuts with some different takes, so even if you have the 63 minute version it is worth getting the 42 minute one.

As an aside, I agree that THE BOHEMIAN GIRL is not one of their best, but it actually contains some of their funniest material adding up to about 20 to 30 minutes. These are the pickpocket scene followed by the scene in the tavern where they divy up their take, and the scene with Stan drinking the wine he is supposed to be bottling. The rest of the film is rather dull but these are top-drawer scenes.
