In a later interview, Babe London said although shooting the scenes with the small car were not as uncomfortable as it appears, the difficulty and frustration of her and Oliver Hardy trying to shoehorn themselves into it was real. This is her only Laurel and Hardy film appearance.
The small car was a 1930 American Austin coupe - a real car and not a prop one made for the film. It was manufactured in Butler, Pennsylvania under license from the British Austin Motor Company from 1930 to 1934. It had a 747cc engine, could reach 50 mph, and got 40 mpg - it's main selling point during the Depression. It cost about $445, which equates to around $6,800 in 2020.
This is the first appearance of silent comic Ben Turpin in a L&H film. Turpin had been one of the biggest stars in silent films, perhaps second only to Charles Chaplin. He retired from making films to care for a wife stricken with illness. His final performance would also be in a Laurel and Hardy film, as the plumber in Laurel et Hardy en croisière (1940).
The can of "Flit" shown was a real insecticide made by a subsidiary of Standard Oil of New Jersey. It is best known for the "Flit gun", a pneumatic pump sprayer with a cylinder attached below the nozzle. Possible product placement.
When Ollie tells Stan about his plans to elope, he mentions it's "strictly on the qui vive." What he meant to say was "on the QT", which means to keep quiet. "Qui vive" is French for "on the lookout."
