Short film of The Three Stooges, back ago with Curly and the other two funny guys Moe and Larry. Curly wins a prize in the radio so they go and celebrate in a hotel, and as usual they destroy everything...

Three women(of course the exact number for each stooge)are pretending to be rich widowers in order to marry the three stooges(no explanation for why they knew that they were exactly 3 men accompanying Curly Howard), at the end they found out that because of taxes the prize Curly won was only of 4 dollars, so no wedding, no girls and no money!

Overall entertaining, especially because it is 15 minutes long...and it just makes you laugh.

Larry, Curly, and Moe are short on money as always. Curly mixes up glue with maple syrup leading to a series of hilarity. Curly wins a $50k radio contest. The Stooges rent an expensive hotel suite and promptly destroy it. They are pursued by the three gold-diggers who are pretending to be rich widows. Then they find out that most of their prize has been eaten up by taxes leaving them with $4.85. This ends a little short. I want more downfall for the Stooges. They could do the classic running around in the hotel being chased by the girls and the hotel security.

In The Three Stooges' earlier 31st entry, May 1938 "Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb," Curly won $50,000 in a radio contest. They decide to splurge in a fancy hotel stay, only to be unsuccessfully fleeced by three pretty gold diggers residing in the next room. The title was a parody on Ben Franklin's advice, "early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Actress Lucille Lund, 25, plays one of the ladies cozying up to the Stooges. She's best known for her role as the wife of the Boris Karloff character in 1934's horror classic "The Black Cat."

One interesting aspect of "Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb" is screenwriter Searle Kramer 'borrowed' Charley Chase's skit seen in the Stooges earlier April 1938's "Tassels in the Air." Here, instead of a pint of paint, Moe accidentally mixes up a can of glue Curly is using on the table thinking it's pancake syrup. His fork becomes glued inside his mouth until Larry comes up with the brilliant idea of using boiling water to melt the glue. Another first in a Stooges film is to show Curly and Moe intentionally drinking alcohol without any qualms. The two are living it up in the swanky hotel by ordering a case of champaign while Larry is taking a bath-buoyed up by balloons. Curly swigs down bottle after bottle of champaign, hearing the liquid swirling around his stomach, as well as swigging the last bottle, causing the champaign to spray out of both his ears.

The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team!

This is a hilarious Three Stooges short in My opinion. The Stooges are so funny. Jean Carmen, Lucille Lund, and Earlene Heath all perform well and they look excellent! Bud Jamison and James C. Morton were good. Also appearing is Bobby Burns! There is another Three Stooges short with Shemp very similar like this one called A Missed Fortune. I strongly recommend both!

WACKY plot that would be used many more times in the series, you can be sure. Moe, Larry and Curly are in the mazuma. LOTS!

Curly -- of all folks! -- wins a radio contest and 50,000 bucks (about 1 million dollars today!).

Unbelieve-a-bubble on steroids!

Laugh out loud to the max, and right off the bat the boys make themselves at home at the plush Hotel Costa Plente??? Super script by Searle Kramer who pulls every trick in the book. The guys go on a wild spending spree, additionally wrecking their suite which is gonna' cost them big time!

Enter three gold diggers, pretending to be rich widows, looking for three dumb clucks with plenty o' dollars. A match made in Stooge heaven. Filled with some funny dialogue between the lovesick guys and the slick gals. Look for Lucille Lund, famous for her appearance in THE BLACK CAT, starring Boris Karloff. Lucille plays one of the greedy ladies.

Stone face Bud Jameson is cast as the house detective, and what a grump. James C. Morton plays the hotel manager with lots of problems a la Stooges.

When all is said and done, TAXES eat up everything and the guys are left with $4.85!!!!! Say what?

Don't miss another slice of insanity. Del Lord returned as director and put the guys through the wringer. Searle Kramer later moved to tv and wrote for the FLYING NUN.

Always on remastered Columbia dvd, generally by decades; 30s, 40s and 50s episodes. Thanks much to METV for running these oldies Saturdays.
