At Los Arms Hospital, three brainless interns - Doctors Howard, Fine and Howard - promise Dr. Graves, the hospital superintendent, that they will devote the rest of their lives to "duty and humanity!" Instructed to rush to any room whenever "Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard" is heard over the loudspeaker, call after call features an assortment of surreal, oddball doctors, nurses and patients. An emergency leads them to operate on Dr. Graves himself, after he accidentally swallows the combination to a safe containing life-saving radium.

This first official Three Stooges comedy was nominated for an Academy Award.

Several scenes were deleted, including an alternate ending with the Stooges meeting Nellie ("their" girl), who turned out to be Siamese triplets. MEN IN BLACK's full script can be found in The Three Stooges Book of Scripts, by Joan Howard-Maurer (Citadel 1984).

Opening title music is "I Thought I Wanted You," by Archie Gottler and Edward Eliscu; see The Three Stooges Journal # 87 (Fall 1998).

Dr. Graves: My dear doctors, it is indeed a pleasure to
            welcome you here for the beginning of your 
            practice.  This letter states that in this 
            group there are three of you who are not overly
            bright, but were graduated because you had been  
            in the senior class too many years. Your 
            identity I shall keep secret, and will disclose 
            to know one, on on condition, that you try hard
            and forever devote your life to the glorious 
            cause of duty and humanity.

Los Arms Hospital
Hospital where the Stooges become doctors ("Men in Black"), and also the name of the hospital where they try to sell Brighto ("Dizzy Doctors").

Stooge Goofs   (10)

Boom Mike Visible When the Stooges emerge from the store room riding the horse, the shadow from a boom microphone appears on the wall on the left side of the screen. Early Scene Prep After the boys are in Dr. Graves' office the second time, they're called over the loud speaker to leave. As they rush to exit, each has a wooden mallet in his hand, & Curly is swinging his arms up & down quickly. As they leave, Moe & Larry are still holding a mallet, but as Curly reaches for the door to exit, he's still seen swinging his arms, but his mallet is already in the cloth holders on the leg of his scrub pants, apparently because the script called for him to close the door, & it might've been tough to do so with the mallet in his hand. Location Change When Dr. Graves is ordering the Stooges to go to Room 81, Larry is standing right next to Graves, then in the next shot he's suddenly halfway outside the door already. Location Change When the janitor sees the Stooges rushing towards Dr. Graves' office, he kindly shatters the glass on the door to let the boys jump through. Moe and Larry jump through, but Curly actually puts his hand on the doorknob to open it, like his usual brainless self. But before he can open the door, the camera cuts over to the inside of the office and Curly is already inside the room suddenly. Mallets Galore After the boys leave the superintendent's office for the second time, they run down the hallway into the store room, but Curly runs into the closed door & falls down. As he falls, his mallet pops out of the cloth holders on his scrub pants, & he leaves it there to go into the store room. Immediately afterwards, as the boys leave the store room on the horse, the mallet Curly dropped is no longer on the hallway floor, but it's back in the cloth holders on his scrub pants. Moe's Line Flub When Moe sees the doctor's stethoscope, he says "Gimme that s...that thing there. It sounds like he almost said "stethoscope but remembered that he was actually just supposed to refer to it as "that thing. Orderly Chaos In the emergency call 'calling all cars' scene, an orderly with a tiny cart passes in front of Moe, then rushes to the left on the other side of the water fountain as if going somewhere, then passes out of view. But, he went nowhere, because the place he went left into is the tiny alcove with the loudspeaker board, behind the nurse's desk. Prop Problem As the superintendent sends the boys out of his office to Room 81, the poor repair man is seen bending down in front of the door. As the boys run out & break the glass for the third time, the repair man stands up & turns around, appearing to show a large chunk of glass had ended up in his back right pocket. But, a closer look just before, & as, the boys break the glass, shows the reflection off that piece of glass already sticking out of the repair man's pocket before the glass is broken, especially as Moe runs past him. (Much easier to see in the colorized version) Sick Hospital Clock? As the short begins, the clock in the upper left corner of the loud speaker call board starts off at 1:50 pm, goes to 2:40 pm quickly, then back to 1:50 pm for the rest of the short, where it's still seen at the end as the boys destroy the call board. Watch Your Foot, Moe When Moe gets off the horse, he accidentally kicks Larry in the back.

Men in Black feels more like the Marx Brothers "A Day at the Races" than any other Stooge film. None of the humor resembles what the Stooges would later become, it's just an endless stream of surreal gags. Maybe if McCarey had stayed on as director, the Stooges would have gone more into this direction. As it is, it is till a very funny short, and Billy Gilbert's performance is a highlight.

Posted 2010-07-15 12:00:43 by Final Shemp

One of the Stooges most popular shorts, Men in Black is one I've never particularly been impressed with. There's really not much to it. Somebody just found the occupation that the Stooges could do the most damage in and watched the chaos ensue.Laughs are present ("Will I get better?" "Well I'm truly sorry, but I'm afraid you are."), but most of the short is nutty without bringing a chuckle. A nurse portrayed by Jeannie Roberts is an example. Her squeaky voice and punchline delivery is serviceable for the short, but leave much to be desired. The cases the Stooges run off to are more bizarre than all-out humorous.Men in Black puts a smile on my face, but I can't say much else about it.Final Shemp's Final Word: 2 1/2 Pokes

A great short, but ever-so-slightly overrated. Lots of classic lines like "Calling, Dr, Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard," "Cotton!" and of course "For duty and humanity!" I give it 3.5 pokes.

Personally, I don't really understand why this short is thought of so highly. Sure, there were some funny moments, but I felt that there was just too many moments where I went, "Huh, is this SUPPOSED to be funny?" instead of laughter. I mean, the whole "apple pie" joke and the guys fainting, and the bits that dragged on and on... I don't know if I'm the type that prefers a set plot with mayhem instead of some mayhem that is just everywhere on the map or what, but I felt this was only worth 2 1/2 pokes, and nothing more.

Honestly, I'll never understand why this short got an Oscar nod at all? It's not one of their best works (in my opinion), and they had SO many future shorts that were much better in quality, manic mayhem, and plot! But, that's the Oscar folks for ya, go figure?! Anyhow, this had some nice moments, some being mentioned by others here, but nothing that really defined the boy's yet. It's almost as if they weren't really sure as a team which direction they wanted to go. The totally slapstick, the totally absurd, or the totally verbal style of comedy. They were really all over the board on this one.Though much better then anything that came along later from the Shemp, Besser, or DeRita days, which far to often mined the backlog of Curly shorts for "new material", I'd still say this wasn't the boy's best work. Yet.

This is the first and only stooge short to be nominated for a oscar,it's humor is really clever instead of slapstick like the Marx Brothers.I like the Nellie gag.It was used 4 years earlier in "Soup To Nuts" but its weird that the ending was cut with Siamese triples and another odd thing is this was the only stooge short that was never shown on the Family Channel.Odd I wonder why despite the fact that Family Channel talked about it so much.The theme is from the previous short "Punch Drunks".

Wasn't this the one that won the Oscar? This one was very funny and fast-paced, but I have to admit, it's not one of my favorites. I did like it a lot, but when I think of Oscar quality, I think they've had others that were better. I was thrown a bit by the part when Moe goes nuts after the nurse tells them that she lost her voice asking for a raise. The reaction seemed overdone, but what ta hey, that's why we love 'em so much!

I don't like this short as much as everybody else. I find it strange how this would be the only short nominated for an Acamemy Award when the boys gave us even better classics later on like "Disorder in the Court", "A Plumbing We Will Go", "Micro-Phonies", and especially "You Nazty Spy!" just to name a few.

This has to be in anyone's top 10. One of my favorites ever since I first saw it as a little kid. The infamous "cotton!" gag gets better with age. And who does not love a good piece of homemade apple pie? I have never looked at green canaries the same since.

I like this short a lot even though it is a little different stylisticallythan most of the others. I like the zaniness of it. Granted, some of thebits could be considered overly scripted or somewhat canned, but for me thelaugh factor is still very high because the pacing is fast. The supporting cast iswonderful, including Bud Jamison, who we know from so many of the latershorts. The bit with the crazy patient is hilarious: Moe says to the patient"you're still crazy, there's another rat coming out of your button hole."The patient says, "you can have it, I've got plenty." Then a canary fliesinto the window and lands on Moe's shoulder. Larry and Curly quickly exitand Moe jumps into bed with the patient. The madness just keeps onhappening. The entire bit with the boys vs. intercom "Calling Dr. Howard,Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard" which continues through the whole short is a brilliantrunning commentary on the battle between advancing 20th century technologyand the status quo. Our boys finally destroy the intercom, and shoot theoffending talking capacitor with sidearms, ending the threat posed by moderntechnology to all Stooges, wherever they may be. Men In Black is unusual,but surely one of the great Stooge shorts.

One of the Stooges first hits, very deserving of an oscar nomination. Call me crazy but I like the sort of plotless short, it gives the boys a chance to really experiment and let their more crazy sides show.Whats wrong with the short?: Not much except I didnt really get that apple/pippin joke.What was good?: Sooo many classic and funny lines and scenes. I like the madman who sees rats comming out of his shirt "Water, WATER!!" and then "LOOK, a great giant green canary." Moe "haha, green canary" a bird lands on his sholder and everyone runs in fear.A bit of a sinister side of Larry when Curly tries to make it with the intercom lady and Moe pulls him aside. Larry comes in at her verry sinsiter; like he wants to take her and tie her on a railroad track. Then when they go to Dr. Graves office and he is on the phone Larry says "Hellooo" in a chilling voice. And finally when they are operating on Graves, Larry brandishes a knife and says "Lets plug him and see if hes ripe."When they are operating on Graves and the intercom voice calls for them Moe whispers "shutup" and the voice says back "shut up yourself."Finally a great ending scene with the stooges ripping the intercom appart "Where is that voice comming from? Where can it be." then they see the box and shoot it-- voice box "they got me." stooges "for duty and humanity."4.5 out of 5Ive had a few to many myselfYa Basta

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree Stooge. I don't think a bit of this is overrated. This short has no pretensions about trying to have a good story, just 17 laugh out loud minutes of nonsense which is what the "Stooges" are all about to me.Water. WATER!!!

Another 1934 short where the boys weren't their usual Stooge selves, and hadn't perfected their characters. I'd say that by 1936, they had found the perfect formula, but certainly not in this one.It's funny in its own way, but as a Stooge episode, it leaves a lot to be desired. Moe doesn't dish out nearly enough punishment, for starters. Curly has some good lines, but there's not enough "la da de" singing or "'nyuk'ing."Very odd plot, and certain scenes were boring. The operating scene was funny at times, but again, not very Stooge-like. It went on for too long. The "for duty and humanity" got a little annoying after a while. Curly breaking the glass door about five times was also a little much.The part I did like was the scene with the crazy guy with "rats coming out of the buttons on his shirt." That had me cracking up (for once in the film).I don't see why this one has such a high rating, except for the fact that it was a "classic" 1934 short. Strip away all the originality and the fact that it was one of the boys' first, and you're left with a short that just doesn't deserve to be called "classic."Another one of those darn overrated 1934 shorts!Rating: 4.5/10

Compare this film and Will Smith's film by the same name. If you say you prefer the latter, did you get lost on the way to the "Fresh Prince" forum? This is MUCH better than Will Smith's film! We see a glimpse of the future in Stoogery as Dr. Graves tells te roomfull of doctors of three among them who were so terrible in medical school that they just barely squeaked by and Graves wouldn't embarrass them by mentioning their names. Then the Stooges come forward and thank him for it. The same thing happened in a future Stooge film with Shemp, "The Tooth Will Out" at a dentist school. Excellent short that is a bit on the wierd side. But wierd is good! Phylis "Anna Conda" Crane was the only cast member to come back for more Stooge shorts.

Strange episode, but quite good, this should have been the stooges first effort, getting better all the time! But I can't see why this was a nominee for best short when "Three Little Pigskins" could have been, and "Three Little Pigskins" was a little better.

This is probably my favorite Three Stooges episode! I love Larry's performance, especially the scene where he is leering over the nurse at the station, and later when he utters the immortal line, "Let's pluck 'em, and see if he's ripe!"
