Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This Franken-film was created by splicing outtakes from 'The Pest' with new bridging shots, making it perhaps cinema's earliest 'recut extended edition.'
Laurel made this during his solo years before partnering with Oliver Hardy in 1927 — his physical comedy already shows the genius that would define the duo.
