Cast & crew
More about 45 Minutes from Hollywood
Fred Guiol directed. Hal Roach wrote and produced the two-reeler. Pathé Exchange released it. The English Wikipedia times it at 21 minutes. Wikidata lists 18. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are both in it and do not share a scene. Footage of Theda Bara is taken from Madame Mystery, released in April 1926, which Hardy supported and which Laurel co-wrote and co-directed. That reuse is Bara's last screen appearance.
