GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
jazzfi wow, where to begin? this is a classic on so many counts! the featured clothing store is a modern "vintage" clothing collector's dream, with tons of double breasted wide label suits hanging everywhere, note how tailored suits had the initials embroidered inside the label, and the owners name written in a tag inside the breast pocket, which i learned much later and never understood as a wee lad how Moe found out whose suit it was! When I first discovered Stooges reruns on a local UHF channel, I think the first episodes I caught featured Shemp, and it was my pop who told me about Curly, whom I did eventually see, of course, but I always dug Shemp's antics, and his hair all over his face especially after Moe slapped him.. Just as he does his routine with the card table in Flagpole Jitters, here he wrestles with the ironing board which culminates with accidentally hitting Moe in the face with the broom, and Moe's reaction is as usual, priceless! This was the peak of their shorts, in my opinion, and one of which I never grow tired of watching.. Enjoy!
MartinHafer 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.
angus_dei No, you knuckleheads! That's Terry Horgan! He was here! Yes, there's a lot to like in this brilliant short. Where can I begin? Moe cooking pancakes on a steam press? Shemp keeping a pair of trousers in a window shade? How about Shemp reading with his lips as he peruses the Sunday funnies---this, of course, interspersed with fits of convulsive laughter, along with the requisite "hee-bee-bees" thrown in. Then there's Shemp reaching down a trouser leg and snatching a 50 dollar bill from Moe's hand, thinking he's found another fifty, whence follows a bit of comedic brilliance: you know what Moe's going to do (justifiably so), but it kills you nonetheless. How about that set-up to the film's climax: Terry Horgan and his henchmen stroll into the shop in disguise (phony beards) and deliver that immortal line, "We-would-like-our-suits-cleaned-and-pressed-while-we-wait," in a ridiculously overplayed staccato. Even the Stooges' suspicions are aroused by that! And the great Shemp almost gets away by putting on one of the phony beards himself. Then there's Cy Schindling getting the steam press treatment. There's even Vernon Dent, as if the film didn't have enough! Check out Shemp's reaction when Vernon threatens him with "I ought to run you in!" There's Larry wondering if he's hallucinating whether the "Pip Boys'" mannequins are coming to life, before shoving Terry Hargan's trousers in Vernon Dent's face with the imperative, "Smell the ocean!" Oh, brother, I could go on and on . . . The pace is breakneck, the timing sublime. Even time-worn gags, when interjected, come off great, thanks mostly to the Stooges' formidable talents. I can't recommend this Stooges short strongly enough. So I won't. Watch it when you have the chance.
wishkah7 I've been a fan of The Three Stooges for as long as I could remember. Shemp rules! In this episode our heroes play tailors who are trying to pay off a debt, and they are pursued by ruthless gangsters.The scene where Moe, Larry, and Shemp beat up the gangsters was one of their greatest moments, ever! I grew up watching comedy teams of the past and back then and even now I'll always think The Three Stooges are funny! I also like Laurel and Hardy and The Marx Brothers, too!I have other favorite Stooges episodes, but this one tops them all! I give it 5 out of 5 stars!
