One of their better entries!

Warning: Spoilers
Shemp Howard, Moe Howard, Larry Fine (themselves), Jean Willes (Lucy Wycoff), Dick Curtis (Wycoff).

Director: JULES WHITE. Original story and screenplay: Felix Adler. Photography: Fayte Browne. Film editor: Edwin Bryant. Art director: Charles Clague. RCA Sound System. Producer: Jules White. (Available on an excellent Sony DVD).

Copyright 3 May 1951 by Columbia Pictures Corp. 16 minutes.

COMMENT: In this one, our trio of misfits are census takers who stumble into the apartment of the lovely Jean Willes where they are menaced by her knife-throwing husband.

Despite its slight production values and an inordinate amount of time wasted whilst Moe and Larry view themselves in distorting mirrors, this is a moderately entertaining entry. I must admit I enjoyed all the business with the collapsing chair and its substitution.

Jean Willes is a wow, while Dick Curtis justifies my belief that he's a top heavy.
