Nothing But Trouble is a late Laurel and Hardy feature, and not regarded by fans and critics as one of their better efforts. The plot involves the team as a chef and a butler wrecking a dinner party and foiling an assassination plot.
At a low point in his career at the time, Buster Keaton worked as a gagman on this film. Keaton's regard for Laurel and Hardy was always high, and he was a good friend of Stan Laurel's throughout their lives. At Laurel's funeral in 1965, Keaton said that he felt Laurel was a greater comedian than Charlie Chaplin. [1]
