Men in Black - the Three Stooges
Men in Black - One of the Three Stooges most famous, and funniest, short films. Men in Black was inspired by a medical drama, Men in White (no, it has nothing to do with Will Smith), and features Moe, Larry and Curly as doctors in a hospital - is there anyone who does not remember "Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard" with a smile? This was the only Three Stooges short to be nominated for an Academy Award.Posted by Tom Raymond, aka Raynbow on 12/17 at 06:36 PM • viewed 1026 times
