The Plot…

Larry, Curly and Moe are small time performers who get a job that requires them to travel by train with their pet monkey.  What could go wrong?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

A Pain in the Pullman is the longest Stooges’ short.  It clocks in at 19 minutes, 46 seconds.

Moe gets to say his classic: “Wake up and go to sleep!”

Moe was allergic and disliked shellfish.  He’s not acting and his aversion becomes evident in the scene where the boys are eating crab.  And how about Curly pulling the meat out and then eating the shell!

A Pain in the Pullman (1936) rates 4 of 5 stars.
