Here's the first of the "DIZZY" trilogy and it's a goodie. The boys are ordered by their wives to find work or get out. Curly pleads, "We looked for a job one day last year. There ain't any." Still, they wind up getting jobs as salesmen trying to push a product known as Brighto ('makes old bodies new'). Thinking it to be a polishing product, they ruin a policeman's uniform and gentleman's car. Regular stooge foils Bud Jamison and Vernon Dent are featured here.
When their boss informs them that Brighto is actually medicine, they wind up back at an old haunt - the Los Arms Hospital. They begin to administer the product to patients, one of whom loses all his hair in the process. The scene with Curly polishing the man's now bald dome is great. Slapping and buffing in a rhythmic fashion.
Turns out Vernon Dent is a bigwig at Los Arms, and when the boys try to sell him some Brighto, a wild chase ensues.
This short is one I had as an 8mm version back in the '60s. It mainly featured the ending chase scene which has some very funny bits. The stooges finally make it back to their home with Moe preparing to jump through their window first - but when the scene switches to the inside of the room, Larry flies through first instead. I always got a kick out of that as a kid.
