Entertaining little movie

It looks like Hal Roach was attempting to popularise the pairing of the gorgeous Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts here by including cameos by Laurel & Hardy and their occasional nemesis Charlie Hall. This film actually re-works a number of ideas from one of Laurel & Hardy's silent shorts - mostly in the Coney Island funfair locations - even using the same shaky hand-held shots.

The film is quite good of it's kind and Todd and Pitt work well together - especially in the scene in which they reminisce about all the losers who have taken them to Coney Island - their least favourite destination - on dates. Billy Gilbert also stands out as the camp dressmaker who finds it impossible to describe his creations without embarrassing himself and hides his true character behind his effeminate manner. And of course, a film only needs ninety seconds of Laurel & Hardy to be lifted immeasurably.

Anecdotes
A close examination shows that Stan and Ollie never share a scene with Thelma and Zasu. While there is some dialogue interaction and shots of Thelma throwing a vase which cuts to it landing near Ollie's head and a shot of the back of a blonde charging at them with another knickknack, it's a very brief shot. There's then a cut to a hallway with a shot of Stan and Ollie scrambling along then down a staircase as more junk is thrown at them. No one is seen doing the throwing. It would appear that Stan and Ollie shot their part when it was convenient for them and it was cut into the film later.

Gaffes
John Loder drives past the girls splashing them with mud, so he takes them to a shop for new clothes, where Thelma Todd is seen with splashes on her back.

Citations
Thelma Todd: Well, that's one more--and the last one!
Zasu Pitts: The last what?
Thelma Todd: My last trip to--Coney Island!
Zasu Pitts: I should hope so. I could smell hot dogs for a week after I come away from that place. Well, it appears that our boyfriends never heard of any other place except for Coney.
Thelma Todd: What do we go there for anyway? You can get the same effect by staying at home and hitting ourselves on the head with a hammer.
