All Gummed Up

All Gummed Up (1947)

The Stooges run a drug store and are about to have their lease taken away by Amos Flint, the mean old man who owns the place. When Flint kicks his wife out for being too old, the Stooges try to help her by inventing a formula that makes old people young. Their concoction turns the wife into a beautiful young woman, and Flint offers the boys the store for free if they'll transform him as well. They agree, but after he swallows the stuff he turns into an infant, and the boys leave on the run.

Interesting facts

All Gummed Up is a 1947 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges. It is the 103rd entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.

Production notes

All Gummed Up was filmed from April 23–24, 1947. It was remade in 1953 as Bubble Trouble, using ample recycled footage from the original. Although Stooge critic Jon Solomon contends that the remake has a better story flow than the original, that sentiment is not shared by fans.

This entry is one of the few to present the trio as competent and respectable professionals, as opposed to inadequate blue-collar laborers.
