Une Nuit Extravagante

• See also Blotto and La Vida Nocturna

With only 101 seconds of footage available to me it is difficult to write a full plot summary. It would probably be a safe bet to suggest that the events and storyline in the film mirror those in the English-language version of the film. What I can confirm is: -Stan's telephone conversation with Ollie. -Mrs. Laurel grabbing the phone and talking with Ollie. -Stan getting his hat and leaving the house as Ollie waits in the bush outside. -Mrs. Laurel addressing Ollie in the bush, followed by Ollie asking Stan if she suspects anything.

Trivia • This French-language version of Blotto and was released two months later. • The French title of the film translated into English means "a wild night". • Stan and Ollie read their lines and pronounced them phonetically from cue cards viewed just off screen. • Some footage of the film exists but I am not sure where it is. • There are sources that list Dick Gilbert in the film. Although I haven't been able to view the entire film, it is a probability that he is mistaken for Bob Minford and is not actually in the film.
