Production notes

Filming of Dizzy Doctors was completed between December 9 and 12, 1936. The footage of the Stooges sailing on a gurney through the city streets would be reused in From Nurse to Worse.

The Stooges try to sell their medicine in the Los Arms Hospital; this is the same hospital seen in Men in Black.

This is the first of three Stooge shorts with the word "dizzy" in the title.

When Moe hits each of the skulls in turn each sounds a different note. The tones are a parody of the G-E-C pattern used for the NBC Chimes.

A colorized version of this film was released in 2006. It was part of the DVD collection entitled "Stooges on the Run".
