Director: JULES WHITE. Screenplay: Felix Adler, Clyde Bruckman. Photography: Barney McGill. Film editor: Mel Thorsen. RCA Sound System. Producer: Jules White.
Copyright 13 February 1941 by Columbia Pictures Corporation. U.S. release: 7 February 1941. 2 reels. 1,579 feet. 17 minutes.
SYNOPSIS: The Stooges attempt to break an honest man out of jail.
NOTES: Number 53 of the 190 short subjects the Stooges made for Columbia.
Second last of 92 movies photographed by the great Barney McGill before his death at the early age of 51 on 11 January 1942.
COMMENT: The Stooges are not schoolteachers, as the title implies, but street cleaners. After fighting a losing battle with wonderfully litter-strewn streets, the boys are inveigled into setting a convict free. To do this, they have to get themselves thrown into jail first.
Plenty of fun in this one, with Curly in top form, assisted by a great support cast including Bruce Bennett in a very small but key part as a prison guard.
