Trivia
This short is basically "All Gummed Up" (1947) with a few new scenes slipped in.

Goofs
Because the Stooges' reaction to Mr. Flint's transformation was reused footage from "All Gummed Up", they all look to the floor in awe. But in "Bubble Trouble", Amos isn't shrinking. They have no reason to look down.

Quotes
Larry: [at the table eating marshmallow cake, which was inadvertently made with bubble gum, instead] What do you call this cake?
Serena Flint: Marshmallow Jumbo.
Larry: [whispering to Moe] Tastes more like Marshmallow Gumbo.

Fountain of youth

A couple of veteran Stooge players are in Bubble Trouble. Emil Sitka and Christine McIntyre play their landlords.

Sitka wants to throw Moe, Larry and Shemp from the pharmacy they operate on his premises. He's one mean old skinflint. Then McIntyre comes complaining that the old skinflint is throwing her out after her giving him the best years of her life.

The boys go to work and after many tries invent some ugly looking goop that's a fountain of youth. Years come off her life.after McIntyre inhales a few slugs.

But itworks somewhat differently for men.

All I'll say is McIntyre got the best of the bargain.
