IDLE ROOMERS (1944)

Film Pick of the Day
Thursday, October 29, 2026

Bellhops at the Hotel Snazzy Plaza, Moe, Larry & Curly encounter the Leanders, husband & wife vaudeville performers who've smuggled their prize attraction into the hotel... Lupe the Wolf Man. The beast is tame, unless it hears music, which makes him go berserk. Accidentally set loose when the Stooges clean the guests' room, Curly tries to calm him with his trombone ("music hath charm"), sending the wolf man on a rampage with the boys as his target.

This film marked the Stooges debut, in a featured role, of supporting actress Christine McIntyre. She appeared earlier, a cameo, in THEY STOOGE TO CONGA (1943).
