Dec 31, 2007 - the jeep used in the film pre dates the Willys commonly used in the 2nd World War. It is actually one of the early prototypes built in response to the United States Governments requirement for a light recon vehicle prior to the U.S. joining the war. Note the rounded hood, exterior front grille and the externally mounted head lamps.

Jan 13, 2008 - this was made after they left Hal Roach. This was an attempt to copy Abbott & Costellos file Buck Privates which was one of the most popular comedies of the year.

Jan 13, 2008 - Stan hated these Fox films. He had no control and thought the scripts were bad - and they were.

Jan 19, 2008 - You're right. No one thought of putting it on DVD or airing on TV lately, because their Fox-period (1941-1951) movies are rubbish. These days only very few people are interested in these L&H misfits. Suppose only die hard fans (such as I) would occasionally want to see them. View some clips of their successfully Roach-period (1926-1940) and you'll see the brilliant comedy talent Arthur Stanley Jefferson and Oliver Norvell "Babe" Hardy.

Feb 27, 2008 - An interesting note: When my mother was a little girl, she lived in Venice, CA. Her and her family were friends of the poeple who owned the ranch where the shot was filmed when the jeep went into the pond. My mother was standing 20 feet away watching that scene being filmed. She got to meet Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. The ranch was located in the SantaMonica Mountains and unfortunately burned down in the 50's.

Mar 15, 2008 - Laurel and Hardy are the greatest 2-act ever, they set the bar for "Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider" ,"Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan" "Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson"
