Here's Stooges Sunday one day late. This is Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise, which was released October 6, 1939. Late in their short-making career, when Joe Besser had become the Third Stooge, they did another oil well story — "Oil's Well That Ends Well" — and reused the footage from this one of Curly Howard (actually, his stunt double) riding the oil well aloft. I remember noticing the reuse when I was first watching Stooge shorts on KTTV Channel 11 as a kid. Of course, KTTV did make it easy for a time by running the films in alphabetical order so these two were aired back-to-back…
