Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Laurel accidentally knocks his hard-boiled egg off the table next to Hardy's bed, you hear the splash of the egg landing in water and the "clank" as it hits the bottom of an obvious metal pan. However, when Laurel bends over to pick it up, he comes up with a large glass pitcher filled with water with the egg floating on the top of it, not a metal pan. more
Quotes:
Oliver: [seeing that Stan has brought him a present] What have you got there?
Stanley: I brought you some hardboiled eggs and some nuts.
Oliver: Now, you I can't eat hardboiled eggs and nuts. If you wanted to bring me something, why didn't you bring me candy?
Stanley: They cost too much.
Stanley: What does that got to do with it?
Oliver: You didn't pay me for the last box I brought you.

laughter is the best medicine, 20 December 2007

OK, so the whole sequence on the street is obviously superimposed. Focus only on that and you'll miss the great stunts in the rest of "County Hospital". I'm surprised that Laurel and Hardy were able to keep straight faces during the whole sequence in the hospital room. It's the sort of situation where if you blink, you'll miss a whole lot.

I read about how, whenever something embarrassing befalls Laurel and Hardy, Hardy's downfall is greater, as he's supposed to be the smart one of the two. Such is certainly the case here. One can see how their antics may have influenced Gilligan and the Skipper. A comedy classic; that is to say, another hilarious mess that they got themselves into.
