Trivia
Although 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.

Goofs
When 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 versions
This film was one of the first few features to be released in a computer-colorized version.

Laurel and Hardy in the west

Laurel and Hardy have to deliver the deed of a valuable gold mine to a girl called Mary Roberts (Rosina Lawrence).James Finlayson is the bad guy of the movie.He plays a man called Mickey Finn and when he hears the story of these two fellas he decides to fool them with the saloon singer Lola Marcel (Sharon Lynn).They introduce Lola as Mary Roberts to these two dummies.And they buy it.Way Out West from 1937 is a classic comedy from Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.It's one of their best comedies among with many others.It's enjoyable to watch the slapstick comedy with these two comedians of last century.This movie includes many funny parts that made me laugh and I just couldn't stop.Just like Stan couldn't after Lola tickled him.Watch Way Out West if you want to see Laurel and Hardy at their best.Nobody does it the way they did.
