this be one particular stooge short that actually use satire in conjunction with slapstick and a rarity . a mentioned and the title and concept for this short be borrow from a feature film from the same year with clark gable call men in white . it basically about the trial and tribulation of intern and their sacred cause for duty and humanity . i saw this recently and almost treat it like the stooge version because it do take itself a little too seriously . in any case and men in black be so well write and direct and not to mention original and it do not borrow a thing from chaplin or any of the others and that the motion picture academy nominate it for an award a the best short comedy of 1934. some stinky short call la cucaracha outdo it though and steal the award . some producer brother in law must have be on the academy vote board . men in black poke fun at the whole concept of the medical profession much in the same way that the marx bros. always do at this time . may not be a fair comparison but i can see the marx bros. in this short . in fact in their feature a day at the race and there be a scene where there medical thing go on and they cause anarchy a usual . my guess that this particular short be judge along those line and hence why it be nominate in the first place . try this in fact represent watch this short first and then watch duck soup or day at the race with the marx and then see if there isn not the same great quality of comedy .
