Curiosidades
Fans of this film have wondered as to the identity of the two women who are dining at the casino early in the film. They enjoy a lengthy sequence when Wheeler & Woolsey sit at their table and flirt with them as the two women feed them straight-lines so Wheeler & Woolsey can give the comedic rejoinder. The girl playing straight for Bert Wheeler is Audree Henderson. (Though the trade papers of the day would occasionally misspell her first name as Audrey.) She was a contract player at "R.K.O." at the time The Cuckoos was filmed. Audree later became the fourth wife of film director A. Edward Sutherland from 8 January 1933, until they were divorced on 11 December 1935. The actress playing straight for Robert Woolsey is Betty Recklaw. She appeared in small roles in a number of films made for different studios during the late twenties and early thirties.

Erros de gravação
When Billy lands his plane, he motions to shut off the engine - and its sound stops instantly, even though the prop is still turning.

Citações
Flapper: You're Americans, aren't you?
Professor Cunningham: Yes, yes, but we can't lend you any money.

Versões alternativas
There are still several TV prints around that are missing the Technicolor sequences. The recently restored print seems to be complete, including the long lost finale.

Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey

In their follow-up to their hit film debut, Rio Rita (1929), with Bebe Daniels and John Boles, W&W star in another stage musical--this time with less success. The plot is stupid and some of the scenes seem to have no connection to whatever storyline is being played out. But W&W are fun, there are a couple good songs ("I Love You So Much"), and the comedy bits are dated but funny. Following the formula of the day, there are young lovers, Hugh Trevor and June Clyde, and a comedy foil--here the wonderful Jobyna Howland. At 6 feet tall and in heels, Howland towers over W&W and works especially well with Robert Woolsey. Some of the jokes are surprisingly risqué, Howland's character is named Fannie Furst (wrong in the IMDb listing as Hurst). As usual, pretty Dorothy Lee is on hand as Wheeler's girl friend. Two technicolor sequences, one featuring Lee in an elaborate production number in hell. Lee and Howland joined W&W in other films; Tall Hugh Trevor (not bad considering the cluck role he has) died a few years after this film following surgery. If you like W&W, you'll like The Cuckoos.
