The Scammer's Song
S.Laurel, L. Tibbett, O. Hardy — personages from the 1930 film “The Scammers Song”, USA, directed by Barrymore and Roach about the kidnapping of the bride on Caucasus.
"The Rogue Song" (sometimes known in Spanish as "La canción del rebelde" or "Amor de gyngaro"), starring Lawrence Tibbett, Stan Laurel, and Oliver Hardy.
This Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production was filmed entirely in the United States, specifically at:
MGM Studios: Located in Culver City, California. Most of the scenes, including the elaborate sets recreating the Caucasus Mountains, were filmed on the studio's interior soundstages.
Exteriors: Although the plot is set in 1910s Russia (in the Caucasus), the mountainous landscapes were filmed on location in California to simulate the environment.
Key production facts:
Directors: It was directed by Lionel Barrymore, while Hal Roach was specifically in charge of directing the comedic sequences with Laurel and Hardy.
Technology: It was MGM's first feature film with all-talking sound and was shot in two-color Technicolor. Current status: Sadly, it is considered a partially lost film; only some video fragments and the complete soundtrack survive.
