Trivia
Moe was allergic to shellfish, so substitutes were made out of sugar for him to eat in the drawing room scene. Although Moe was to eat the prop food, he still disliked doing it, clearly eating it hesitantly, trying to hide his disgust by smiling and saying "I like these little points". He repeats the line unenthusiastically.

Goofs
Throughout the meal scene in the rail car, the showgirl is there with the Stooges, right up until it's time for them to be thrown out; at that point she just disappears.

Quotes
Moe: [to Larry] Hey, you! Wake up and go to sleep.

So-So

Pain the the Pullman, A (1936)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

The Three stooges board a train heading for a new job but their pet monkey causes all sorts of trouble. Once again, this short is pretty good but there are still plenty of misses in the joke department. The best moment is when the boys are trying to get into their bed but it's up to high so they have a little trouble. The monkey also gets a few nice laughs.

Now available on Columbia's 2-disc set, which features over 20 shorts, all digitally remastered and looking better than ever.
