Did You Know?
| Trivia | Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle got the assignment to direct this film because William Randolph Hearst felt guilty about how his newspapers had savaged Arbuckle during his three murder/rape trials in 1922 and ruined his career, despite his eventual acquittal. See more » |
| Goofs | Near the beginning, when Willem uses his cane to strike at Ignatz on the table, the mouse "jumps" off the table onto the floor and runs away. However, from the way the rodent landed on the floor, it's apparent that it simply was dropped from above. See more » |
