Just got the new DVD set "Harry Langdon at Hal Roach: The Talkies 1929 - 30" and while watching "La estacion de gasolina" I was surprised to find this difference between the actual film cast and most references about the cast...

Harry's girlfriend is played by Nancy Dover (the same role she plays in the English language version "The Big Kick"), not Linda Loredo.

It pains me to take away a screen credit from Ms. Loredo, a lovely actress who died much too young, but there can be no doubt. Not only is the actress in the film clearly the same one in the same role in "The Big Kick", but Ms. Dover also is given 3rd billing in the opening credits. Ms. Loredo is not listed in the film's opening credits at all.

Ms. Dover did a nice job with her Spanish dialog in this film (as opposed to Mr. Langdon), she deserves credit for her performance.
