The Goat is a 1917 American silent comedy film featuring Oliver Hardy. Like many American films of the time, The Goat was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors cut, in reel 2, the man raising the girl's leg to strike a match on her shoe, all scenes of Billy West in the wrong bed, and the holding of hands across twin beds.[1]
