DIZZY DOCTORS (1937)

Film Pick of the Day
Friday, October 16, 2026

The Stooges are lazy good-for-nothings whose wives threaten to kick them out if they don't find work. They land a job as salesmen selling a snake oil called "Brighto". After harassing the citizens and even ruining a man's auto paint job, they make their way into the Los Arms Hospital and try their hand at selling Brighto to the patients. They enter the Superintendant's office to make a sale, but the Super is the same man whose car's paint job was ruined!

Sol Horwitz can be seen, briefly, standing behind the policeman in the street scene at the end of the short.

A production still shows June Gittelson, Eva Murray and Elaine Waters as the wives. But the roles were recast, reason(s) unknown... Gittelson remained, but Murray and Waters were replaced by Blanche Payson and Ione Leslie.
