User Reviews

We should go somewhere for a nice long rest...

Monkey Businessmen (1946) stars Moe, Larry, and Curly. This is a very good stooge short which has the three stooges taking a break from work and going to a little resort. Dr. Mallard is a quack who is not really doing anything for his patients except taking their money. Moe, Larry, and Curly have some great bits in this one. The one that stands out in my mind is when Curly eats the thermometer!

(Larry takes Curly's temperature) Moe: What is it? Larry: 90 proof!

I love the stooges and you will love this one too! Watch for it on home video or on AMC.
