Pack Up Your Troubles is a 1932 pre-Code Laurel and Hardy comedy directed by George Marshall and Raymond McCarey. The film follows the duo's unfortunate draft into World War I, and their post-war debacle caring for their fallen comrade's infant daughter. The title is named after the World War I song "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag, and Smile, Smile, Smile". The film is Laurel & Hardy's second feature-length film.
