Men in Black is a 1934 short subject directed by Raymond McCarey starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Jerry Howard). It is the third entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 short subjects for the studio between 1934 and 1959.
Men in Black is the only Stooge film ever nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Subject - Comedy.[1]
Notes:
Filming for Men in Black took place from August 28 to September 1, 1934. It holds the distinction of being the Stooge short released the fastest after its filming concluded at just 27 days. The opening title music, "I Thought I Wanted You," composed by Archie Gottler and Edward Eliscu, is unique to this and previous film, Punch Drunks.
Men in Black contains the first appearance of many gags used in later shorts. For instance, this is the first of several Stooge shorts in which one of the three Stooges charges into or out of an office with a door that has a large plate-glass window, slamming the door behind them and causing the plate glass in the door to shatter. It is also the first of many shorts where the Stooges make a liquid concoction of something (in this case, medicine) by randomly pouring together various liquids with gibberish names (a similar gag is sometimes used where the Stooges pass each other various tools with nonsensical names while operating). The Stooges have several off-the-wall dialogues with nurses, particularly the "hiccuping nurse" played by Jeanie Roberts, who affects a girlish Betty Boop-like voice. As well, this is the first short which shows the Stooges repeatedly engage in a huddle while planning something out.
This film also contains the famous recurring dispatcher line "Calling Doctor Howard, Doctor Fine, Doctor Howard." In this short, the three doctors get so sick and tired of the repeated calls that they decided to tear down the dispatcher's call board and, when a small transmitter appears on the floor, quivering and still repeating "Doctor Howard! Doctor Fine! Doctor Howard!", they all take out handguns and shoot it, causing the dispatcher to say "Oh! They got me!". The Stooges then lift a toast and repeat the film's catch-phrase: "For duty and humanity!" Part of the dispatcher's call board was also used in the background of the dogwashing facility in the Stooges' 1938 short, Mutts to You.
The film title Men in Black is a spoof of the Clark Gable and Myrna Loy 1934 movie Men in White, released earlier that year. The Stooges, in fact, wear mostly white outfits for this film. The short is also significant in that it was the only time that the trio would be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Subject - Comedy.
Men in Black also represents an early use of what has come to be described as hammerspace. The Stooges go to the storage closet to acquire modes of transportation to get them to their patients. They are seen riding a three-man bicycle, a horse, and then individual go-carts out of the closet.

It's wonderful to see these masterpieces being made available on this platform. As a Latino, the Three Stooges has entertained generations of my family. They proved that comedy at its best transcended any language or cultural barriers. Thanks for making this happen.

"calling dr howard, dr fine, dr howard". *whisper* "shut up"
🤣 I remember watching this at the Alex Theater, and everyone was dying of laughter because of the scene where the stooges realized that the tools were inside of someone.
Dr. Howard: "Where are the tools?"
Dr. Fine: "The tools?"
Dr. Howard: "Tools?"

One of my favorite Stooges shorts
my favorite three stooges short ❤❤❤❤❤
LOL this short is hilarious! I especially love what the stooges come out of that dam store room on XD! First a triple bike! Then a freakin horse! Who keeps a HORSE in a hospital? LOL and finally there go karts XD! These guys are legends! Been a stooge fan all my life! :)
The horse bucks slightly as it goes down the corridor and I swear I thought all 3 of them would end up mashed in the ceiling 😂😂
I don't know why......but when the women wakes up & looks at the stooges & says "Geez, the joint is haunted". Cracks me up every time! 7:25
The
The scene at 15:00 ALWAYS reminds me of when I was having knee replacement surgery, and, before I was put under, I saw a table full of shiny surgical instruments.
I asked, "Are all these for me?"
I never got an answer from either the surgeon or nurse that were nearby, but, I remember that they both laughed.😂😂😂😂
The surgery,by the way, was successful.❤❤❤😊😊😊
"Heads or tails?"
"NYUCKN!!"
LOL the best part
"Is that it?!"
Cotton!!! 😂
Calling Dr Howard Dr Fine Dr Howard
One of my favorites.
Looks like Larry is wearing a Cartier tank watch. I wonder where that watch is now.
Up the a$$ of Bruce Willis....
Larry was actually given quite alot of material in this one.
10:19 my favorite scene
OH THANKS.. HAPPY NEW YEAR CHUCKLEHEADS

@williamcrowe2576 bruh it was a joke and in the 30s there was s growing progressive movement such as the Hollywood anti nazi league and was organized by the American Popular Front and Communist Party of America but had attracted members both in and out of the party. The Stooges also made the Nazi threat known to the American public when the US was neutral and isolationist during the early years of WW2
3:52
Who’s the nurse with the really cute high pitch voice?
Honestly, I don't think she's got a name.
Curly Howard's famous exclamation "Woo-woo-woo-woo" was used when he forgot his lines, and soon became the actor's running gag.
The third Columbia short for The Three Stooges and their only one to be nominated for an Academy Award. They lost to La Cucaracha (1934).
Gene Simmons has said that the "Calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard" announcement inspired him to write the KISS song "Calling Dr. Love".
The Three Stooges were cut by flying glass in one of the scenes where the glass door slams.
The film was refused a British cinema certificate in 1934.
The bizarre medical terminology used by The Three Stooges was ad-libbed.
The film contains the first appearance of many gags The Three Stooges would use in later shorts. For instance, this is the first of several Stooge shorts in which one of the three Stooges charges into or out of an office with a door that has a large plate-glass window, slamming the door behind them and causing the plate glass in the door to shatter. It is also the first of many shorts where the Stooges make a liquid concoction of something (in this case, medicine) by randomly pouring together various liquids with gibberish names (a similar gag is sometimes used where the Stooges pass each other various tools with nonsensical names while operating). The Stooges have several off-the-wall dialogues with nurses, particularly the "hiccuping nurse", who affects a girlish Betty Boop-like voice. As well, this is the first short that shows the Stooges repeatedly engaging in a huddle while planning something out.
A colorized version of this film was released in 2004. It was part of the DVD collection Goofs on the Loose.
The hospital shown was the old Cedars of Lebanon, which treated many a Hollywood celebrity and starred in numerous films in its day. Located on Fountain Avenue, the building now belongs to the Church of Scientology but still looks much the same.
Decades later, Columbia Pictures reutilized the title of this short for an unrelated feature film- the much-beloved Men in Black (1997), starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.
The patient Anna Conda is a play on the anaconda reptile, native to South America.
Although there are wild green canaries, the bird seen is a parrot.
Besides "Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard", there are 13 other doctors listed on the "Loud Speaker Call" board: Dr. King, Dr. Lynch, Dr. Davis, Dr. Spinks, Dr. Burton, Dr. Graves, Dr. Boyd, Dr. James, Dr. Scott, Dr. Brown, Dr. Savage, Dr. Green, and Dr. Carew.
This represents an early use of what has come to be described as hammerspace. The Stooges go to the storage closet to acquire modes of transportation to get them to their patients. They are seen riding a three-man bicycle, a horse, and then individual go-carts out of the closet. These items would not likely fit in the storage closet's space.
The Western Union Messenger states the message from Nell is "75 cents collect". After Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, and Dr. Howard extract the information from the messenger and he asks for his, money, they say they'll "toss him for it; double or nothing" and ask him for a coin, which he provides. However, after the boys scam him on the toss, they walk away with his coin, thus negating both the "double" and the "nothing".
My favorite!!

When I was younger I was all about the Curly shorts and I still love them but as I've gotten older Shemp has become my favorite.

I love all the stooges shorts, but this one will always hold a special place in my heart. Me and my grandma used to laugh at this one a lot. Miss you Nana 😢
This was only their third short and everything we ❤ about the Stooges is there It was nominated for an Academy Award
I still have a DVD with some of their episodes in color and Men in Black and Playing with Ponies were my favorite
I have the same dvd as well as the others, as I find the shorts that were colorized look great. Since Playing The Ponies is my favorite Three Stooges short, I'm really glad it's among the 20 shorts that were colorized.
Curly throwing the towel into Moe's face is amazing
The giggling nurse is so cute 😂
And the crazy guy does a spine tingling cat impression.
I just love these guys!!! Best entertainment on CZcams!! And on tv when you can find them !!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ FOR DUTY AND HUMANITY 4ever!!!!
I hope I can watch this episode in my last minutes 😌
Lol Curly coming in like he's dead 3:21
"She's in a coma."

"Say, why are we all whispering?"
"I don't know why you're whispering, but I lost my voice asking for a raise."
(Stooges proceed to lose their minds, especially Moe at the beginning)
They undid human dignity "for duty and humanity".

Great big giant green canary
So Classic and harlious slapstick
Best episode ever!!!! In several Warner Bros works they use the "Paging Dr. Howard, Dr.Fine, Dr.Howard" as a joke! (ex: Full House, Batman Arkhan series (Joker says it in Asylum game) etc
Moe: (whispering) Say, why are we all whispering?
Nurse: (hoarsely) I don’t know why you’re all whispering, but I lost my voice asking for a raise.
This just so happened to be 1 of 10 shorts that were remade for The Three Stooges (2000) biopic.
13:12 The indication that he would have swallowed a burning cigar instead...
9:03 - I heard a unseen camera person laugh little when curly is walking funny
It's strange that Men In Black was the only Three Stooges short to be nominated for an Academy Award, but it does make for a fun short. To be honest, I'm probably not as high on this short as others might be, as it's pretty light on story for a lot of it, but there are still enjoyable gags, such as the constant glass destruction and the multiple transportation modes the trio takes. Things do really pick up for me in the second half with the surgery attempt, and the ending is such a fun way to conclude the short. It's a good one, just not a particular favorite of mine.
Where it ranks for me: #63
3:51 that's mae questal, the original voice of betty boop and one of the voices of Olive oyl. She also voiced betty boop in who framed roger rabbit 1988
WHERE ARE THE TOOLS?!!?

Whoever casted Dr. Graves was DEADLY accurate.
Billy Gilbert is best known as a regular in Laurel and Hardy and Our Gang shorts he appeared in two Stooges shorts Men in Black and Pardon My Scotch and he did the voice of the giant in Disney's Fun and Fancy Free.
It is facinating seeing actors in this particular short that had previously appeared in Hal Roach productions.

Funny how every other doctor is dressed professionally, but those three are dressed like they belong in the mental ward of a hospital lol
Moe was 37
Larry was 32
Curly was 31

In some celebrity families, the wealth can transcend one or more generations. Some who are grandchildren or great grandchildren may have a life of ease and abundance, based on the efforts of a relative they might not have ever known. I'd wondered if perhaps this might be true for the Stooges. It seems not, based on this CBS article I just found, while looking to answer to my own question.
*"After splitting from Healy, the Three Stooges signed on to Columbia Pictures where they appeared in nearly 200 shorts between 1933 and 1959. Their only short to be nominated for an Academy Award was 'Men in Black' (1934) - a parody of the Clark Gable-Myrna Loy 'Men in White' - which finds the Three Stooges as medical students (and not very good ones at that).*
*The comedy team proved to be extremely popular, but the Stooges never got rich. They made about 8 films a year, but were paid a flat fee (no royalties) of $60,000 - to be divided by the three. The studio head managed to renew the terms of their contract for 23 years, in which time the Stooges never got a raise. Meanwhile, their shorts - the most popular of the studio's output - made Columbia millions."*

It's very inspired by the Marx Brothers... Valdevulle fast talking and anarchic comedy.
