Film Pick of the Day

September 1963, Normandy Productions and Columbia co-distributed the original, unsold THE THREE STOOGES SCRAPBOOK (1960) color television pilot in theaters, as two short subjects... a 14 minute short incorporating the first 2/3 of the film, and an 9 minute short with the final third. This is the 14-minute short.
While rehearsing a new opening bit for their children's television program THE THREE STOOGES SCRAPBOOK, Moe, Larry & Curly Joe are evicted by their landlady for cooking in the rooming house. Searching for a new apartment, the Stooges travel to Creepy Manor in Lompoc, where eccentric scientist Dr. Dolottle (Emil Sitka) asks them to stay and help him guard his new invention from enemy spies. Turning in for the night, a disguised spy, Dolottle's butler Nick, enters the Stooges' room through a secret panel and attempts to scare them away.
Although the script presents Emil Sitka's character as 'Prof. Doyle,' he is called 'Prof. Dolottle' in the film, a pun on the popular childrens' story character 'Dr. Dolittle.'
In the scene with the spy carrying a sleeping Larry, Emil Sitka doubled for the actor playing Nick the butler.
