Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough credited as "A Stan Laurel Production," Stan really didn't produce the picture; it was a gesture from Hal Roach after one of their squabbles. "Producer" is one of the few things Stan didn't do on a picture; he wrote, directed, supervised and edited, all without credit.
- GoofsWhen The Avalon Boys are singing "At The Ball, That's All", there is only one verse to the song that is sung 5-6 times. The first two times it's sung, The Avalon Boys' lips are moving, but for the rest, they sit whilst the song continues, obviously not singing, as their lips are no longer moving. They just watch Stan and Ollie dance.
- Quotes
Lola Marcel, the Singing Nightingale: Tell me, tell me about my dear, dear Daddy! Is it true that he's dead?
Stan: Well, we hope he is, they buried him.
- Alternate versionsThis film was one of the first few features to be released in a computer-colorized version.

Featured review
Laurel and Hardy really don't have to DO anything to make me laugh. When they are on my screen, I howl. "West" is, in my opinion, their best film. Laurel did the cutting and he put in some sound effects that punch up the action. The spoken lines are hilarious: Stan, speaking to an imposter: "We want to know why you are not Mary Roberts!" The ridiculous dance in front of a blatantly obvious rear-projection screen is a gem. I have this movie on VHS and have run it many times. It does not get old.
