Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGrace Goodall (Mrs. Richmond) had a near-fatal choking accident during rehearsal of a food fight scene, which never completed filming for this reason.
- GoofsAs the Professors Nichols and Richmond leave the restaurant, Nichols says he will hail a cab for the both of them. Yet, after meeting Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard a minute or two later, Richmond invites them all into his car, parked right next to the Stooges' rubbish truck. Possibly the result of a deleted scene.

Featured review
Can The Stooges Be Transformed? Soytenlee.....NOT!
Although not the funniest, this remains a "classic" Three Stooges film, one you never forget. The story, used a number of times not only in Stooges films but in famous feature films like "My Fair Lady" is the idea of trying to totally transform someone. Here, it's Curly, Larry and Moe.
The three guys try to answer the question two rich guys debate: heredity or environment? Which has the most influence. They wind up betting $10,000 (a ton of money back then) on the outcome with the Stooges as the subject matter.
There are a lot of classic slapstick sight gags here in the last 10 minutes when the boys have to strut their stuff at a big hoi-polloi-type affair. I thought the best gag was the Curly trying to dance with a big, fat woman who kept knocking him down, only to have him spring back up. (Well.....you have to see it.)
