Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was made just days after Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy had finished filming "The Second 100 Years (1927)," in which they play shaven-headed convicts. Thus, the reason for the boys' buzz-cut hairdos in this film.
- GoofsWhen Charley Chase steps up to the microphone Ollie is seen to put his top hat on twice from two different angles.
- Alternate versionsThere is an Italian edition of this film on DVD, distributed by DNA srl, "STANLIO E OLLIO - COMICHE INDIMENTICABILI: The Second 100 Years + Call of the Cuckoo + Sugar Daddies + Do Detectives Think? (1927)" (4 Films on a single DVD), re-edited with the contribution of film historian Riccardo Cusin. This version is also available for streaming on some platforms.
- ConnectionsEdited into Laurel and Hardy's Laughing 20's (1965)
Featured review
Two L&H shorts
Call of the Cuckoo (1927)
** (out of 4)
A man (Max Davidson) swaps houses, sight unseen, due to his wacko neighbors. When he moves into the new house it turns out the thing is falling apart in every way possible. The only real highlight is the few scenes with the neighbors who are played by Laurel, Hardy and Charley Chase.
Second Hundred Years, The (1927)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Laurel and Hardy play convicts who make an escape but they find themselves in a more dangerous place than prison. There's small laughs scattered throughout this short but in the end the only real highlight is seeing boys with shaved heads.
