Crazy Like a Fox

Crazy like a Fox is a 1926 American short comedy film directed by Leo McCarey and starring Charley Chase.[1] The two-reel silent stars Chase as a young man who feigns insanity in order to get out of an arranged marriage, only to find out that his sweetheart is the girl he has been arranged to marry. Chase would remake the film as The Wrong Miss Wright (1937) in the sound era during his tenure at Columbia Pictures.

The film features Oliver Hardy in a small role filmed shortly before his teaming with Stan Laurel.
