Interesting facts
The Cuckoos is a 1930 American pre-Code musical comedy film released by RKO Radio Pictures and partially filmed in two-strip Technicolor. Directed by Paul Sloane, the screenplay was adapted by Cyrus Wood from the 1926 Broadway musical The Ramblers by Guy Bolton, Bert Kalmar, and Harry Ruby. The film stars Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, and while they had appeared on Broadway and in other films together, this was their first starring vehicle as a team. The success of this picture, combined with Rio Rita being their most successful film of 1929, convinced the studio to showcase them as Wheeler & Woolsey, the screen's newest comedy team.
