Fun Stuff

Trivia:
One of four shorts from The Three Stooges to fall into the public domain after their copyright was accidentally not renewed in the 1960s. The other three are Disorder in the Court (1936), Brideless Groom (1947) and Malice in the Palace (1949). That is why these four shorts are always featured on low-priced Stooges videos and DVDs and are never featured on any legit Stooges compilations. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Moe is making the pancakes in the pants presser, you can hear the director yelling "Cut!" just as the camera fades to the next scene. more
Quotes:
[Shemp accidently hits Moe with a broom]
Shemp: Gee, I'm sorry, Moe.
Moe: Oh, think nothing of it.
Shemp: Gee, thanks, Moe.
Moe: You're welcome.

Rather predictable but fun, 9 June 2007
7/10
Author: planktonrules from Bradenton, Florida

While this short features Shemp and not Curly, it's still a lot of fun--though I always prefer Stooges shorts with Curly--he was THE third Stooge. However, Shemp does a pretty good job and the team was forced to either disband or keep going without Curly due to his ill health.

This short features the threesome as tailors. They owe money on their rent and unless they pay up ASAP, their business will be closed. But employing some comedy timing, just after getting this letter they overhear an announcement on the radio concerned a wanted safe cracker--and the reward will take care of all their expenses. So naturally the boys ultimately have a showdown with the tough guys and in the end, everything is exactly as you would predict....well, not quite, as the ending provides a cute little twist. While this is NOT a great short, it's agreeable enough and something non-Stooge fans can still enjoy.
