The Plot…

Larry, Curly and Moe are carpenters working on a drugstore project.  When the owner (who sells bootleg hooch) has to leave, he puts our boys in charge.  That’s when a customer asks for a “prescription” drink.  Our guys go in the back and mix up a cocktail that knocks the man for a loop… and he loves it!  The man hires the boys to provide their “Breath of Heather” for a big party at his boss’ house.  What could go wrong?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

There’s a scene where a table Moe is standing on is cut in half. Moe crashes to the ground and actually broke his ribs. To Moe’s credit he finished the scene and then collapsed in pain.  He was rushed to the hospital.  The scene we see is what actually happened.

Pardon My Scotch features a Stooge classic. Moe facing Curly says, “Point to your right”.  Moe and Curly point in opposite directions.  Curly also briefly recreates the “dancing bread” bit made famous by Charlie Chaplin.

Pardon My Scotch (1935) rates 4 of 5 stars.
