An Expensive Visit is a 1915 American one-reel silent comedy film produced by the Lubin Manufacturing Company and starring Ed Lawrence, Oliver Hardy, Raymond McKee, Ben Walker, and C. W. Ritchie.

Production and reception

An Expensive Visit was written by Edwin Ray Coffin, directed by Will Lewis, and produced by Arthur Hotaling, the general supervisor of the Jacksonville, Florida unit of the Lubin Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia. It was released by the General Film Company on March 23, 1915, and was one of the last films produced by Lubin's Jacksonville unit, which had ceased operations on February 13, 1915.

The reviews of the film in the trade papers were positive. The New York Dramatic Mirror called it "an entertaining comedy", and The Bioscope described it as an "amusing, if somewhat long drawn-out comedy, in which three college lads, anxious to 'raise the wind,' play a decidedly laugnhable, but somewhat mean, trick on the old father".
