"Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise" is a Stooges short film and it runs 18 minutes as they usually do. This one is from the first year of World War II, so it's already over 75 years old and it's one of the Stooges film with Curly in them. The scene when he sits on the oil well is really memorable, kinda spectacular special effects for a Stooges film. I guess this is also the reason why it is among the more known works from the three. Anyway, the rest is as usual: black-and-white with sound and lots of slapstick humor and plays on words. I myself am not the biggest Stooges fans, but this one was worth seeing. Some funny moments. They help a lady with financial problems this time and in the end get a beautiful reward. Decent little film. I recommend it.
