“The Cocoanuts” began life as one of The Marx Brothers’ stage shows which also starred their frequent collaborator Margaret Dumont. She went on to be in 6 more of their films!

For the record, I pulled “Extra! Extra!” (1931), another RKO Frank McHugh comedy short, b/c the sound was noticeably more wonky than the other films on the playlist. You can check it out for free here (https://youtu.be/fol8Tu3EE30?si=Br4VrboynDaElZA5)

For the record: Frank McHugh isn’t in “The Stolen Jools” (1931) but it was produced by the private social club “The Masquers Club of Hollywood” , who would also play a hand in making a few comedy shorts starring Frank McHugh in the early 1930s

<5mins in and we’ve hit most of the Frank McHugh comedy tropes:
Playing a reporter or clergy or general degenerate ✅
The patented Frank McHugh Laugh™️✅
Kind of a dope ✅

And the man of the hour: Frank McHugh (May 23, 1898 – Sept. 11, 1981), who was from a theatrical family. He struck out on his own in 1930 and quickly made his way into film & later TV, where he easily cornered the market on being the (often tipsy) comic relief

“Havana Widows” (1933) is the first of 5 films centered around the “Blonde Bombshell” comedy duo of Joan Blondell and Glenda Farrell, who were WB’s answer to Hal Roach’s female comedy pair Zasu Pitts & Thelma Todd

Due to the time and budgetary concerns, set pieces and props from various other Universal horror films were used to make “White Zombie” (1932) including the castle interiors from “Frankenstein” (1931)

According to Béla Lugosi’s son, “White Zombie” (1934) was one of Lugosi’s favorite films to work on, even despite his $800 payday for the 11 day shoot where he even directed a few shots!

Despite “White Zombie” (1934) being well received upon release it was actually believed to be lost until it was rediscovered in the 1960s. It’s considered to be the first full length zombie film, especially one that acknowledges the Zombie mythos’s Haitian roots
