Good Stooges

Movie Maniacs (1936)

*** (out of 4)

Three Stooges short has the boys going to Hollywood to become stars. They get thrown out of the studio lot but sneak their way back on and are mistaken for movie execs. Now they try their way to make movies. The most laughs come from the start of the film with Curly trying to cook breakfast and Larry trying to press Moe's pants. The stuff in Hollywood has a few clever lines but no big laughs.

This is now available in Columbia's 2-disc collection, which features over 20 shorts from the boys, all digitally remastered.

Three is not the magic number.

I love Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd, but The Three Stooges do absolutely nothing for me, their childish slapstick routines leaving me stony faced. This short sees the guys (Larry, Moe and Curley) travelling to Hollywood where they hope to become famous; after sneaking into a studio and being mistaken for New York film executives, they cause chaos on the set of a movie.

If you're a fan of the trio, I guess this one will keep you entertained, but all of the face-slapping, eye-poking, head-bopping and cross-dressing failed to make me crack a smile, and even at just 17 minutes, I found myself quite bored with this one. I'm willing to give the trio a couple more goes to try and amuse me: this was an early effort from the Stooges and they might get better, but I have my doubts.

hilarious second half

Larry, Curly, and Moe arrive in Hollywood hoping to make it big. They sneak into a movie studio and get mistaken for three expected new executives who are supposed to take over the place.

The first half is standard Stooges with the bad cooking and sneaking past the guard. There's nothing terribly new until they get on set. The kissing is hilarious and one can see the joy in the girls' eyes. They are inches from breaking out laughing. That scene is the best. It's also always fun to get Curly dressed up. All in all, this has some real intriguing laughs in a fun standard Stooges.

It's okay.

The Stooges are heading to Hollywood as stowaways on a train. They've created quite the setup in the boxcar where they are traveling...almost like a hotel on wheels.

Once in Hollywood, they are mistaken for executives with Carnation Pictures. Because of this, they are given control of the studio...and they begin making films their own way. In one, Curly plays the pretty lady and Larry her ardent suitor! Eventually the studio figures out the mistake...though considering how awful the film the Stooges are making, it's surprising it took this long! What's next? See the film.

Overall, this film is a big disappointment...much of it because their prior short, "Ants in the Pantry" was comedy gold. This one, by contrast, is a rather run of the mill short and could have been funnier given the situations. Good for die-hard Stooge fans...others...not so much.

Movie Maniacs!

The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team!

One of the most unique Three Stooges shorts is Movie Maniacs. In this short are Bud Jamison, Harry Semels, Mildred Harris, Kenneth Harlan, and Heinie Conklin. The acting by these actors are good especially by Jamison and Semels. There are many funny scenes here that I think most Three Stooges fans will love! In My opinion this one of the most different Three Stooges shorts. I strongly recommend this one!

Wissenswertes
When Moe Howard and Curly Howard are seen standing by the bed in the boxcar, there's a scene missing. After the first exchange between the two, Curly is seen wearing three watches, which is usually a cue for The Three Stooges' "telling time" routine. That scene was obviously cut from the final version of this short.

Patzer
One of the "kissing partners" refers to Curly Howard as "Mr. Howard", even though she shouldn't know his name--they walked onto the set unannounced--and he's using an alias, anyway. This is due to the story line of the film being changed after the scene was shot.

Zitate
Curly: How are we gonna get in pictures? We don't know nothin' about makin' movies!
Moe: There's a couple of thousand people in pictures now who know nothing about it. Three more won't make any difference.

Alternative Versionen
In the 90s era Columbia VHS release and some older TV versions, one scene is cut out, specifically when the Stooges attempt to show a believable on-screen kiss. Moe initially tries to show how to give a good-looking kiss to a showgirl. However, he gets shy, and barely pecks her on the cheek. He calls it the "hit-and-run" type. Larry then tries the dramatic bend-over technique, but the more he bends forward, the more the girl's head pulls back. Then, it's Curly's turn to go. He calls his kiss a "sacrifice". However, before he can give said kiss, the showgirl grabs him and says "Oh, Mr. Howard!" and pulls him over and gives him a huge kiss, making Curly pass out. Moe and Larry then pull him up, hit him, and the scene resumes. Considering the print damage that goes along with this scene, it seems like it may have been an error based on the change from reel #1 to reel #2. Thankfully the scene was kept intact when Columbia/Sony restored the shorts in high definition around 2007.
