Trivia
This film has a famous comedy scene with Laurel and Hardy trying to move a piano across a bridge suspended high above some mountains. Originally, there was to have been a subplot in which a bomb had been secretly attached to some keys in the piano, thus adding suspense to the comedy. Producer Hal Roach deleted the bomb subplot, but retained the now-pointless shots of Laurel accidentally hitting the piano keys.

Goofs
The lyric of the final song says, "In Swiss that's 'good morning to you.'" There is no language called "Swiss." Swiss citizens speak German, French, Italian or Romansh.

Quotes
Stan: I see a monkey.
Oliver: A what?
Stan: A monkey.
Oliver: Well, it doesn't surprise me a bit! If you don't quit drinking that brandy, you'll be seeing pink elephants.

Alternate versions
'Alpine Antics" was a edited version cut from 'Swiss Miss' for TV.

Laurel and Hardy in Switzerland

Laurel and Hardy play mouse trap salesmen, who go to Switzerland to sell some mouse traps.There they of course get in many troubles.Swiss Miss offers some very funny scenes with the boys, like the scene with Stanley and the dog and the scene where the boys try to move a piano up to the mountains.Swiss Miss is a great Laurel and Hardy comedy from 1938.And the gorilla is a nice add to the movie.
