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.
