Production & Preservation Note: Hal Roach’s attempt to pair Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts as a female counterpart to Laurel and Hardy resulted in Sneak Easily, a film that serves as a high-quality visual record of Los Angeles area landmarks in 1932. The Beverly Hills City Hall, in particular, retains much of its original splendor, making it a perfect subject for analyzing how these civic structures have aged and been maintained over the last century.
In the early 1930s when the popularity of Laurel and Hardy was at its peak, producer Hal Roach had the idea that he could offer a series of films with a female version of the Laurel and Hardy characters. Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts were chosen, with Todd assuming the Hardy role and Pitts the Laurel character.
This movie is one of the best in the series and gives us some great views of the recently opened Beverly Hills City Hall building, along with the old Pacific Electric Railway's historic Fletcher Viaduct.
