The Three Stooges made many classic short films during their peak period of 1934-1944, and it seems like they all had the same ingredients: the three boys are ne'er-do-wells, they become involved in a get-rich-quick scheme that backfires, they spend most of the film on the run, and they manage to enrage any number of authority figures while destroying almost everything in sight.
Here, the Stooges are lazy husbands who are ordered by their wives to find work or move out of the house. They land jobs selling "Brighto", a patent medicine that they believe is a spot remover. After ruining a policeman's (Bud Jamison) uniform and a hospital administrator's (Vernon Dent) new car, the Stooges discover the true medical purpose of Brighto. They invade the Los Arms Hospital ("There must be lots of sick people in there!" Moe yells), and proceed to wreak havoc throughout the building. After removing a patient's hair with Brighto, serenading the hospital via the PA system, and leading a wild chase involving Dent (again), the boys escape down the street on a gurney, finally ending up back at homesound asleep.
Though not as familiar to non-Stooge audiences as "A-Plumbing We Will Go", "Healthy, Wealthy, and Dumb", and "An Ache in Every Stake", "Dizzy Doctors" is a Stooges classic with true belly laughs throughout. The scenes in Los Arms Hospitalparticularly those with Vernon Dentare side-splittingly funny. Your taste for this film will of course depend on your taste for the Stooges of course I think it's hilarious.
PSBest line (Brighto Inventor, to the Stooges): "You idiots! That's medicine!"
