POLITIQUERÍAS (CHICKENS COME HOME) with LA VIDA NOCTURNA (1930)
Directed by James W
56 minutes
Rare screenings of two of Laurel and Hardy's "alternate language versions" of two of their best shorts, both expanded with added musical numbers and vaudeville acts (including Hadji Ali, "The Regurgitator", one of the most bizarre acts of all time). The team's Spanish speaking voices are not dubbed – they actually speak the language, supported by a cast of native speakers, including the fiery Mexican actress Linda Loredo (replacing Anita Garvin, the wife in the English versions), who plays Ollie's wife in both films. We have created English subtitles especially for the screening. These will be projected "live" by translator Teresa Ross Tellechea. U.S., 1931
