Laurel and Hardy … filmed in French & Spanish

Did you know that Laurel and Hardy, the 1930′s comedy movie stars, reshot a number of their films in French, Spanish, Italian and German?

Laurel and Hardy couldn’t speak any foreign languages, so had voice coaching, and often used native language speaking supporting cast members.

Chickens Come Home, Blotto and Below Zero were re-filmed in French and Spanish.
