From Nurse to Worse

The Stooges try to defraud the insurance company! Nah...not smart enough!

Directed by
Runtime
17 min
Comedy

Synopsis

The stooge's friend Jerry convinces them to take out insurance on Curly and then have him act insane to collect. Moe and Larry put Curly on a leash and take him to the insurance doctor, having him act like a dog. Unfortunately, the insurance doctor wants to perform a brain operation—cerebrum decapitation. The boys try to escape by hiding in the dog catchers' wagon, but are caught and taken to the hospital. They escape again, this time by rigging a sheet to a gurney and sailing down the street, where they run into Jerry and knock him into wet cement.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
