This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

For this one time, that I can think of, the "remake" is actually better than the original. The original "All Gummed Up" just stops at the birthday cake scene with everybody blowing bubbles then...that's it. It just seems normal that there should be another sequence added on to wrap up the fountain of youth concept, but there isn't. Obviously, in this version, someone in the studio actually realized the error and brought it to everyone's attention. So the ending is added where Mr. Flint demands that he wants to be young again like his newly transformed wife but it has a surprising effect on the male species. It turns them into apes! Now he turns into an angry and powerful gorilla and chases the boys around the drugstore. This is what was totally lacking in the original. That sense of urgency, tension and fear that is so much a part of a good comedy. I don't mean to discount the original and most of the footage from that one is used here but go for the remake first and then compare. You'll see what I mean. Enjoy!

The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team! One of the most different Three Stooges shorts is Bubble Trouble. In this short are Christine McIntyre, Emil Sitka, and Victor Travers. The acting by these actors are good especially by McIntyre and Sitka. There are many funny scenes here that I think most Three Stooges fans will love! In My opinion this one of the most different Three Stooges shorts. There is another similar Three Stooges called All Gummed Up. I recommend both of these shorts!

It's these type of remade dogs from the mid-50's that makes me wonder why Jules White even bothered. This short should have been titled "All Gummed Up part deux: The Director's cut" or something. But I guess this short could be worth something to those who haven't seen the original since it basically "borrows" nearly all the old footage, and Columbia has released this short on VHS & DVD (why, instead of a much better remake like 'Loose Loot' I have no idea)?!?Grade: D-

Even though I haven't seen this stooge short in about 2 years, it's a pretty short even though we don't get to see the new footage until the last 4 or 5 minutes of the short and that's when it becomes a classic (I never cared for All Gummed Up and I think that short was Shemp's weakest of the 1940's).In the original Emil Sitka shrank after trying to drink the fountain of youth but in this short, he becomes a gorilla and grabs Moe and starts banging his head on the floor and his head becomes a squashed pancake and Moe and Larry suggest that the gorilla needs a mate and they get Shemp to try it and Shemp shoves it inside Moe's mouth and he does a chimp impersonation.Not of one of the better remakes from the 1953-56 period but the gorilla scene makes it a classic, 2.25 out of 5 stars.
