Stooges at their peak in 1939, with a good story, good gags and a brilliant performance from Curly. The boys take a cab (!) to Egypt to bring back the mummy of King Rootentooten. Curly accidently crushes a mummy, then has to play a mummy himself. Curly's "swim" in mirage-pond is pure genius. Hard to go wrong with the boys in a chamber of priceless artefacts, menaced by spooks and villains. I can't think of 16 minutes of film with more laughs per minute.
