on several locations in Culver City. The original Victor sound discs for We Faw Down were thought lost until the 1990s, when a set was discovered. Certain European DVD editions feature this original synchronized score, but American DVDs (Region 1) still have music cannibalized from other Laurel & Hardy Victor soundtracks. As originally scripted and shot, We Faw Down features the duo fleeing the girls' apartment having pulled on each other's pants, then dart from spot to spot in town trying to find a private place to rectify the situation. An irate husband, suspicious cop and belligerent king crab all conspire to thwart the swapping of the pants. Though excised from We Faw Down, the footage would be used for their next film Liberty. Stan Laurel would eventually reuse this plot device for 1938's Block-Heads. Reception British film critic Leslie Halliwell gave the film a lukewarm reception, calling it "moderate star comedy." Laurel and Hardy Encyclopedia author Glenn Mitchell added that the film was "typical of their matrimonial comedies,". Allmovie.com critic Bruce Calvert said "while this film is only an average comedy, it is still worth a look. Laurel and Hardy's explanation of the 'show' and why they didn't know about the fire, is priceless." Laurel and Hardy: The Magic Behind the Movies author Randy Skretvedt wrote "All that We Faw Down proves is that even [Leo] McCarey could not always save a film from mediocrity.... [it's] amusing but nothing to rave about." The Films of Laurel and Hardy author William K. Everson wrote in 1967 that the film "rather draggy and pedestrian, though it has isolated gags that are among their best. Particularly amusing are the two flirts' attempts to inject some life into their two pickups.... The best gag of all, however, is the.... brilliant and untoppable climactic gag."
