Larry, Curly, and Moe are three lazy idiots. Their hard-working wives push them to get jobs. They start selling Brighto which "Brightens Old Bodies". The boys think that it's a cleaning polish product. After some mishaps, the owner tells them that it's medicine and the boys try to sell it to a hospital. All the while, they are collecting enemies along the way.

This is pure Three Stooges causing havoc and mayhem where ever they go. It's an 18 minute short. Fans will love this. Bandwagoners will enjoy it. The story is simple and the characters fit the boys. It's been 3 years since their parting from Healy and joining Columbia. It is everything one expects from the boys at their best.

The Stooges are ordered by their wives to find jobs or never darken the house again. Fortunately for them, they have awakened bright and early at 11 AM to start searching for work. Their wives read an ad to sell "Brighto," and tell the Stooges to get the sales jobs.

The boys arrive at the Brighto office as "three of the best salesmen who ever saled." They immediately launch into a selling frenzy, running out into the street and down sidewalks hawking Brighto. The Stooges run into trouble when they sell Brighto as a cleaner and not as the medicine it is intended to be. Will they still make a sale and get out of trouble?

"Dizzy Doctors" succeeds on two levels. First, the aforementioned manic way the Stooges sell Brighto; second, when they arrive at Los Arms Hospital to hawk their wares. The scene where they try to cure a man hospitalized for dandruff is hilarious. The hospital scenes harken back to their 1935 Academy Award nominated film, "Men in Black."

A good, solid Stooge comedy. 8 out of 10.

Hysterical, most definitely. Moe, Larry and Curly are at large, next gaining employment as pitchmen for a revolutionary product called "Bright-O?" With a name like that, the guys think it's some sort of a polish, misunderstanding the inventor, Dr. Bright (Horace Murphy), who claims its a rejuvination formula.

So what do the Stooges do? They're off and running, selling the stuff as a handy helper, like for polishing pants -- which burns a hole in them -- to shining cars -- stripping the paint off! The guys high-tail it back to Dr. Bright, who sends them to the Los Arms Hospital(?), where his formula can do more good? What follows is insane, particularly with a series of laid up, weary patients, waiting to be cured? Not to forget the guy whose car was wrecked by them! I agree, one of the best bits finds Moe advertising Bright-O on the hospital intercom, and with all phony radio charm.

Del Lord returns as director, working his magic in the classic hospital scenes. Imaginatively written by Albert Ray, veteran director of comedy shots, also an actor. Also some interesting casting; plump June Gittelson, instead of playing a background role, plays Moe's wife. Blanche Payson, who appeared with Laurel and Hardy, plays Larry's wife. Vernon Dent plays Dr. Arms and Bud Jamison plays a cop.

Remastered on Columbia dvd, generally by decades, 30s, 40s and 50s episodes. Thanks always to METV for running all the Stooge classics on Saturdays.

Arguably the funniest episode ever from the Stooges!I love it when the Stooges get in the hospital!Vernon Dent and Bud Jamison are really good in this one.The Stooges' wives are very different.This is a great one to check out!

In The Three Stooges in March 1937's "Dizzy Doctors" revisit the same hospital where they made their earlier 1934 "Men in Black." Selling a health elixir, they figure the best place to peddle the product is at the 'Lost Arms Hospital.' They approach the superintendent of the hospital, Dr. Harry Arms (Vernon Dent), who earlier caught the Stooges polishing his car using what they thought was cleaning liquid; the stuff was taking the paint off his car. Dr. Arms and his assistants chase the three throughout the hospital's corridors before they escape into their bed snoring.

Stooges' films also gives today's viewers an insight on how the medium of radio worked during the 1930s. While they were at the hospital, the Stooges took advantage of the microphone of the building's intercom and pitched their product like the were on a radio show. Moe opening their 'program' by hitting the three skulls on the desk, sounding like chimes. The notes played are G, E, and C, the same heard on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) radio shows. The chimes, introduced in 1927 and shortened from its seven to three-note stanza in the early 1930s, were programming cues for the engineers in its network affiliates that the broadcast shows were about to begin or end. Also, when the Stooges hawk their product called Brighto on intercom that comes in six delicious flavors, they're mimicing Jack Benny's pitch on his show's sponsor, Jello.
