A Classic 3 Stooges short.
A great Stooge short from 1940. The stooge's friend Jerry convinces them to take out an insurance on Curly and then have him act insane to collect. Moe and Larry put Curly on a leash and take him to the insurance doctor and have him act like a dog. Unfortunately, the insurance doctor wants to perform a brain operation (Cerebrum decapitation). The boys try to escape by hiding in the dog catchers wagon, but are caught and taken to the hospital. They escape again, this time by rigging a sheet to a gurney and sailing down the street, where they run into Jerry and knock him into wet cement.
The stooges are small time actors traveling by train to an engagement. Along with their pet monkey, they manage to spoil the trip for quite a few of the other passengers including the conductor and a big movie star. Eventually their antics get out of hand and they are literally tossed off the train. This film is from 1936.
By 1947, when this film was released, Shemp Howard had replaced Curley, who, as you probably know, had passed away from a stroke. This is one of the better films that he appeared in. I always felt that Shemp was always underated as a Stooge.
Released in 1934 and starring Moe, Larry, and Curley, the Stooges are three doctors who graduated medical school by being in it for too many years. They come across such problems as an overly chirpy nurse, a mental patient, and a combination to a safe swallowed by the hospital superintendent in the course of their attempt to get through the day.
To escape the police, the stooges pose as plumbers and are hired to fix a leak in a fancy mansion. They wind up crossing the electrical system with the plumbing and generally ruin the place. One memorable scene has the lady of the house tuning into a television broadcast from Niagara Falls as a torrent of water pours from the set. To escape the wrath of the homeowners the stooges escape through a magicians trap door. Appearing in this short are Symona Boniface, Monte Collins, Dudley Dickerson, Bess Flowers, Bud Jamison, Eddie Laughton, and John Tyrrell! This Stooges short is from 1940. The summary of this film is from IMDB.Com.
From 1938, here is another great Stooge comedy featuring Larry, Moe, and Curly.
One of the giants of comedy, Curly of the three stooges battles with powerful whiskey and a feisty bowl of clam chowder.
Another Stooge short, from 1958, this time with Moe, Larry, and Joe. Nightclub performer Larry wants Joe and his sister Tiny to join the act. The only problem is that Tiny is afraid to sing in front of people. They take her to a psychiatrist (Moe) who cures her, and the act is a success. Not one of the best shorts, but I posted it since it had Joe Besser.
From 1936, here is another great Stooge short. Set in the old west, the stooges are crooked gamblers gypping the resident of a frontier town. They are discovered and must escape into the woods. To elude the sheriff they disguise themselves as Indians. Their plan works until Curly, dressed as a squaw, is forced to marry a local tough guy. The stooges are unmasked and wind up in the hoosegow.
