Hijinks! Lunacy! Wacky comedy legends Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson star as confidence men with as many aliases as they have junk bonds. After being run out of town with their tails between their legs, they bounce into a new money-making adventure with Gertie, their leggy (but dumb-as-a-brick) blonde secretary and her mammoth Great Dane Prince.Their antics lead them to the quiet town of Centerville where the foursome are accused of kidnapping Billy (Sammy McKim), a runaway to whom they had offered a ride. Once the misunderstanding is explained and Billy is sent home to his attractive mother (Lila Lee), the wacky crooks unleash themselves onto the town and paper it full of worthless bonds. Bleeding the suckers dry, Olsen and Johnson outstay their welcome in Centerville and a "necktie mob" forms to lynch them on the spot!Vaudevillians Olsen and Johnson achieved superstardom two years later with their surreal "anything goes" Broadway smash "Hellzapoppin'", which was produced as a film in 1941 by Universal Studios. ## Images ![Country Gentlemen - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Q4AkiWTXL.jpg) ![Country Gentlemen - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81trgBIdCTS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ McAllister & Watson, or is it Hamilton & Williams? *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2014* GRAPEVINE VIDEO is one of best indie outfits specializing in silent era films and early talkies.Their catalog of over 500 very rare titles can be seen online..In the comic programmer COUNTRY GENTLEMEN (1936), two big-city gold mine scammers flee the law. They and their ditzy secretary set up shop in little Chesterfield, where the boys assume different names and offer locals 90 G's worth of shares in an oil well that may never produce a drop.John Sigvard "Ole" Olsen and Harold Ogden "Chic" Johnson were musicians who met in 1914 and teamed up for a comedic vaudeville act. Their freewheeling zaniness was rarely captured on film due to the confines of scripting. Both men played the buffoon on stage and in radio, but for their few movies it was giggly Johnson who acted the clown against a more restrained Olsen.Their most famous creation, the musical revue HELLZAPOPPIN', ran on Broadway for three years then was  adapted to the screen in 1941 . As originally conceived, over a dozen songs were mixed with blackout sketches, farce and sight gags in a show constantly reworked to keep it topical.Ole and Chic made only eight films between 1930 and '45, plus they contributed a couple of songs to  PRIVATE SNUFFY SMITH  (1942). With the advent of such teams as Abbott & Costello and Hope & Crosby, the boys faded into obscurity.Their co-star in "Country Gentlemen" is another who unjustly never really made it big in film. Lovely Joyce Compton's specialty was dizzy blondes. She had a marvelously expressive face and a style all her own. Joyce is especially fine in Eddie Cline's  THE VILLAIN STILL PURSUED HER  (1940), as a spacey gal who wanders in and out of the story a couple of times. (Also seen in "Country Gentlemen": Lila Lee and Ray Corrigan.) ### ⭐⭐ Two Stars *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2015* Interesting for the historical perspective only. The film lacked flow, and found it hoaky mostly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Olson and Johnson *by S***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 17, 2013* Olson and Johnson, this movie is rated one of the best that they made. I also have it on a VHS tape. All in all, a pretty good effort at transferring from tape to disc. Not perfect, but remember that this movie was made in the late 30's. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/1221355-country-gentlemen](https://www.desertcart.es/products/1221355-country-gentlemen) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
