Action and dialogue scripts were written mid-April 1929, with filming April 20-27, 1929, and release by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on June 1, 1929. The train scenes, including outtakes unused in Berth Marks, were spliced into foreign-language versions of The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case the following year. These scenes were combined with new footage, utilizing actors fluent in the languages appropriate to the foreign-language versions. Laurel and Hardy's scenes from Berth Marks were overdubbed to match the required languages. Berth Marks was reissued in 1936 with new musical scoring added to introductory scenes.
