Actually, November 29 was a Saturday, but that is when they shot this scene, just a few days before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Stan and Babe were between pictures; they had completed _Great Guns_ and had not yet begun shooting _A-Haunting We Will Go_ .
In watching this movie, I'm wondering if it would be eco-friendly to go back to wood-based plastic. It would have the advantage of being more reusable.
I wonder if the 16mm color reversal original still exists. Provided the original hasn't been screened too much, it would still be in marvelous condition for being post-1939 Kodachrome of which can be made absolutely breathtaking telecines nowadays. Actually, when I heard that Laurel & Hardy had starred in a 1942 public educational documentary short that should be in the public domain by now, I was convinced to find a recent, pristine HD telecine of it on YT. But seems like while the digital quality of this upload may not be the best, this seems to be the one version on RUclips with the best sound and color correction during telecine and which also was the sharpest prior to encoding the file.
A real treat to see Laurel and Hardy in their only color film.
This was made during their lunch break while filming,"Jitterbugs" in L.A. on November 29, 1941. This was released in the Spring of 1942. CLASSIC!!!

Is plastic actually made from wood powder? I've never been able to confirm that anywhere else.
This was only Laurel and Hardy professional film that was filmed in colour.
