Laurel and Hardy - Pack Up Your Troubles (1932) - Filming Locations

This Laurel and Hardy movie is set during World War I. Army recruiters are scouring the city park looking for able bodied men to enlist. Laurel and Hardy, enjoying the sunny afternoon sitting on a park bench, are spotted and after trying (unsuccessfully) to evade the recruiter, they end up in the Army on the front lines.

The recruiter scene in the park is the focus of this Laurel and Hardy movie location then and now video. The scene was actually shot at TWO parks, starting at Palisades Park overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica with the rest of the scene filmed at the Will Rogers Memorial Park in Beverly Hills. Charlie Chaplin also used this location in his film "The Idle Class" (1921) which you can see in the Buster Keaton / Harold Lloyd / Charlie Chaplin Movie Locations Videos section of the site by clicking here (opens in a new browser tab). As you'll see, each of the filming locations are easily recognizable today.
