Blotto

Blotto

The number Oliver Hardy calls to reach Stan Laurel (OXford-0614) was Laurel's real phone number.

This film was simultaneously produced in a Spanish language version, La vida nocturna and a French language version, Une nuit extravagante with the actors speaking their own lines. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy read their lines from cue cards on which the appropriate language was printed phonetically. At the time of early talkies, dubbing was not yet practical.

This is the first sound film to feature Laurel & Hardy's "laughing" routine, in which Stan's single giggle crescendo's into hysterical laughter from both.

This is the only Laurel and Hardy film in which Laurel's character is married and Hardy's is not.
