Crazy to Act is a 1927 American silent comedy film featuring Oliver Hardy.

Plot

Ethel St. John was in love with the bland, but poor, Arthur Young. Mrs. St. John, Ethel's mother, preferred, however, the millionaire Gordon Bagley, to be Ethel's husband. Ethel agreed to marry Bagley only if he made her a movie star.

From then on, everything went wrong for Mr. Bagley. The film he financed for Ethel was made by inept filmmakers, and the film's hero was no one but his rival, Arthur Young.
