The last entry in the Columbia 2-Disc Set of Three Stooges shorts is a standard affair, watchable but not exactly a classic (to be honest, very few of these, if any, were!). The boys cause havoc at a shop selling rare items, then discover they’ve inherited an atelier; the funniest bit is the climax, with the exhibition of their surreal models – dressed in clothes resembling furniture (complete with drawers wherein to keep their cosmetics)!
These shorts are essentially pleasant and certainly harmless – but they’re not in any way on the same plane as their contemporaries Laurel & Hardy; |
Mario, I've been reading enough of your feedback on The Three Stooges to suggest they're just not for you (much like the Godzilla films aren't your cup of tea). I don't know why you're still bothering with them, as you're just not what we like to call a "Stooges Guy". You're more of a Marx Brothers person. You should know that most fans feel these 1930s Stooges shorts with Curly are their best (I like the Shemp and even Joe Besser shorts too) but if you're already getting weary of their comedies at this point, I'd say not to venture much farther after this bunch.
