This is Laurel & Hardy's last two-reel short, except for a cameo appearance in On the Wrong Trek (1936). Hal Roach decided to move the pair into feature-length films from here on.
A cinematic device was used in this short that is either extremely rare or might even be unique to this film. For the major scene changes--from the Oliver Hardy home to the bank, or the transition to the hospital-- as the actors were leaving one scene they grabbed the edge of the film, as it were, pulling it right-to-left as if it were a curtain, only the "curtain" was the film for the next scene. At the end, they actually make reference to this trick. As they are leaving the hospital, Ollie--who has taken on Stan's mannerisms and dress due to a blood transfusion gone wrong--says, "Wait a minute, I forgot something", whereupon he grabs the edge of the screen and drags it to the left, revealing "The End".
Having previously played their own twins, their own children, and each other's wives, there was nothing left for Laurel & Hardy to do but play each other at the end of this short. Laurel gets to do a Hardy tie twiddle, and Hardy the Laurel cry.
It was during the shooting of this last Laurel & Hardy short that A. J. Jefferson, Stan Laurel's father, visited the set. It was the first time that he had the opportunity of seeing his son perform on-camera.
The $300 Stan and Ollie were out for the clock in 1935 would be worth $5,519.19 in 2018, adjusted for inflation.
