So, 'Monkey Businessmen' is this quirky little comedy from '46 featuring the usual slapstick charm. The stooges, who are electricians, get themselves into a heap of trouble at a rest home run by a conman doctor. I mean, the pacing feels just right for the era, with those classic bits of physical comedy where everything goes hilariously wrong. The atmosphere is light but has that underlying theme of deception, which they tackle in their own bumbling way. And the practical effects? They do a lot with simple setups that really shine in their chaos. It's not a perfect film, but there’s a certain charm in its absurdity that's pretty fun to watch.
