Ollie to the Sheriffs wife : "A lot of weather
we've been having lately"
Lola : "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."
Lola : "Oh it can't be, what did he die of?"
Stan
: "I think he died of a Tuesday, or was it Wednesday-"
Cast
The film's score was composed by Marvin Hatley and nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Score. The film includes two famous songs, firstly "Trail Of The Lonesome Pine" sung by Laurel and Hardy except for a few lines by Chill Wills and Rosina Lawrence, lip-synched by Laurel. And secondly "At The Ball, That's All" sung by The Avalon Boys and accompanied by Laurel and Hardy performing an extended dance routine, one which they rehearsed endlessly.
"Trail
Of The Lonesome Pine" was released as a single in Britain in 1975 backed
by "Honolulu Baby" from Sons Of The Desert reaching number 2 in the
British charts.
In 2000 readers of Total Film magazine
voted Way Out West the 26th greatest comedy film of all time.
It was released
to theatres on April 16, 1937.
This film was the second picture for which
Stan Laurel was credited as producer (the first was 1936's Our Relations); Laurel
had served in that capacity uncredited for the duo's entire career. The executive
producer was Hal Roach.
The film was colorized in 1985
