Finn and Hattie
- February 28, 1931 (1931-02-28)
Finn and Hattie is a 1931 American comedic pre-Code film directed by Norman Taurog, starring Leon Errol, Mitzi Green and ZaSu Pitts.[2]
Plot
Production
The film was based on a book Mr and Mrs Haddock Abroad by David Ogden Stewart. He later said "the first thing I knew about it was Joe [Mankiewicz] coming to me to apologize for it because it wasn’t Mr. and Mrs. Haddock Abroad as I had written it or as I saw it, but largely a vehicle for Leon Errol to do the many very funny things he used to do with his legs and with dialogue. They had just ruined the whole spirit of the Haddocks, and when I saw it I quietly tiptoed out of the theatre."[3]
