Trivia
As he does in "Big Business", Stan calls out "Babe" at one point to get Oliver Hardy's attention. Babe was Hardy's nickname, and since this was a silent, and they hadn't yet achieved their greatest fame, it wasn't re-shot. See more »Goofs
Returning home they're seen from the outside entering the house with Stan having his hat in his hand but the shot from inside looking out he has it on his head. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

WE FAW DOWN
Aspect ratio: 1.33:1
Sound format: Silent
(Black and white - Short film)
Stan 'n' Ollie get mixed up with a couple of floozies (Kay Deslys and Vera White) after setting out to visit a theatre which burns down in their absence! Needless to say, their tyrannical wives (Vivien Oakland and Bess Flowers) are not amused...
Leo McCarey's OK comedy laid the narrative framework for William Seiter's masterpiece SONS OF THE DESERT (1934), with L&H playing brow-beaten victims of circumstance, forced to tell a monstrous lie which backfires in spectacular fashion. Much of it is very funny, especially the scene in which Stan is teased by Deslys, leading to a violent game of push and shove. However, some of the fun is undercut by Oakland and Flowers, playing their roles completely straight, which adds an element of unpleasantness to the 'henpecked husband' scenario. Originally released in the UK as WE SLIP UP.
