Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe train-berth scene is a reworking of Laurel & Hardy's short subject Berth Marks (1929). Laurel requested that the setting be changed to a turbulent plane, but producer Sol M. Wurtzel refused to accommodate him. At the end of the scene, one can hear the camera crew laughing in the background.
- GoofsWhen the duo are in the hi-tech bedroom, and Ollie rides the bed back out of the wall, the following sequences show that the rotating table is first clear, then has the pipe and magnifying glass back on it, then is clear again, and then has the chairs re-arranged.

Featured review
Good for a few laughs
This is one of Laurel & Hardy's later Twentieth Century-Fox films and it is not one of their best. However, it is an upbeat and fast-paced effort that shows signs that they put some effort into it. THE BIG NOISE has some good bits: the dinner with the inventor, the bunk bed scene in the train, and the constant threat of the bomb going off with Stan transporting it carelessly. The only part of this movie that seems weak is the Nazi segment and the scenes with a very annoying little kid. Other than that, this is recommended for all L&H fans, especially younger fans. 7 out of 10.
