Oranges And Lemons (film)
''Oranges and Lemons'' is a 1923 American one-reel silent comedy starring Stan Laurel. He plays an incompetent employee of a fruit orchard who only manages to keep his job because his fellow workers are even more inept, including the lovely packer (Grant) who flirts with him. As is typical of his films in this era, his character is far more aggressive and physical than the more familiar meek personality he adopted when he later teamed with Oliver Hardy. The name "Sunkist" was taken from the long-established citrus fruit company Sunkist Growers, Incorporated. Plot Sunkist (Stan) wearing an under-sized sombrero is operating a pointless machine, where his boss drops fruit into a hopper at one end, and the fruit is scooped up and dropped into a tin bath held by another employee. None of the fruit is going in so they swap roles and Stan gets the fruit dropping on his head. Stan goes off to collect on his own then a fat worker asks for help.
