Nuts in May (aka Play for Today: Nuts in May) is a 1976 television film written and directed by Mike Leigh, originally broadcast as part of the BBC's Play for Today series. It is the comical story of a nature-loving and rather self-righteous couple's exhausting battle to enjoy what they perceive to be the idyllic camping holiday. Misunderstandings, awkward clashes of values and, inevitably, explosive conflicts are the uncomfortable scenarios that occur when more open-minded and fun-loving guests pitch their tents nearby.
Nuts in May is a 1917 silent comedy short, directed by Robin Williamson and featuring Stan Jefferson (aka Stan Laurel). It was filmed at Bernstein Studios,in Hollywood, California. Very little of the film survives (a little over 60 seconds). What does survive consists of Stan in various scrapes with a steamroller, ending with him in a straw boater being dragged off to the asylum. The film is of importance in that it is the first recorded piece of film featuring Stan Laurel.
Stan Laurel's first film.
