Atoll K (1951) is the final film starring the comedy duo Laurel and Hardy, a Franco-Italian production also known as Robinson Crusoeland (UK) or Utopia (US). The plot follows Stan and Ollie as they inherit a Pacific island, get shipwrecked on a newly formed atoll, and try to establish their own nation after discovering uranium, attracting unwanted attention from world powers. The production was notoriously troubled, and the film exists in multiple versions, with many considering it a disappointing end to their career, though it's historically significant as their last screen appearance together.
