Synopsis

A professor makes a wager that he can transform the Stooges into gentlemen. After numerous attempts to instruct them in proper etiquette, he takes them to an upscale society party. The Stooges' newly acquired manners prove short-lived, and the event quickly spirals into chaos. By the end, the other guests begin to mimic the Stooges' behavior, and the Stooges ultimately leave having retained their gentlemanly demeanor.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
