This is a very different type of story for the period. The guest stars are especially well highlighted and though you lean very little about Eddie Alberts character in general, his performance is well worth watching. He brings a great depth to his troubled character's troubled mind. Also, you get a look at Hoagy Carmichael's plying and singing. It was a very touching episode that has truly frightening emotional moments.

I came to this film NOT a big fan of the stooges. Having said that I laughed myself silly at it. Unlike a typical Stooges short, it has a plot, actual jokes, and some interesting casting. Though they are long in the tooth in this film, they perform admirably. Keeping their fine physical humor (which doesn't usually send me, but it is well used here) and adding some fun word play and situational humor.

The supporting cast is quite able and the production qualities are higher than I normally associate with the stooges work.

I ran across this while waiting at my doctor's office for some paperwork and stayed around to see how it all worked out. I laughed out loud in public several times. I will seek it out, as I own, nor have been interested in owning anything by the Stooges. This may be among their best work. This is one I'll buy.

Good stuff.
