Stupid. But sublime., 4 February 2006
Author: federovsky from bangkok

Watch it when you feel ill or just kind of "wotthehell".

Durante and the Three Stooges are in fine form. There may or may not be some kind of plot - this thing moves fast.

It's got almost as many memorable lines as Casablanca. Here's a few that have stuck in my mind for years:

DURANTE: It's an absolute catasta-strophe.

DURANTE: "When I was at Penn State..." MAN: "Oh, so you're a college boy?" DURANTE: "Sorry, I meant state pen..."

MAN: "Well this is a fine how-do-you-do!" STOOGE: "Fine! How do you do!"
