Peter Cushing's contract (bearing his
signature) with Hal Roach Studios for A CHUMP AT OXFORD (1940) with Stan
Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Cushing recalled it was in the evening when
they filmed his final scene getting tossed into the pond. Laurel
and Hardy personally made sure that every actor who got wet received
towels and hot drinks. Cushing was star struck by Laurel and Hardy and
would remember them fondly for the rest of his life.
