Unreal, but it's the Three Stooges.

This is a humourous Three Stooges short. Do not take lessons in making beer from the Three Stooges. The short drags in parts and is not funny in parts. Watch it if you haven't anything better to do. The Stooges were starting to show their age in the 1940's, and this is one of the better one's from that time.

Perhaps the weakest short of the late Curly era

When I first watched this short, I actually was enjoying the new footage and when I saw the reused footage, I was quite dissapointed and when I saw reused footage from another episode, I was even more dissapointed and I think this short is only worth for the first 5-6 minutes and I understand that Curly was ill during this time and I think that Curly was more sick than usual in this short although Curly seemed more healthier in the next two shorts 'Uncivil Warbirds' and 'Three TroubleDoers' although his condition went even more downhill in the two shorts after that.

too young and too handsome

Larry, Curly, and Moe can't find any beer in town. They decide to make their own. Curly sells one beer but the buyer turns out to be a cop and the boys get arrested. I like the progression of the story. Pomeroy does need a bit of explaining which was probably cut out to save time. I always love the boys especially with Curly. There is plenty of hilarity. They should do more old Stooges. This one has one of the better Stooges ending.

Weak short.

This is around the time after Curly got ill. To make things easier for him in this short, they decided to reuse excessive amounts of footage from earlier shorts just as SO LONG. MR. CHUMPS and IN THE SWEET PIE AND PIE, and build somewhat of a plot around it (they would end up doing this a lot in the later in the mid-50's). A lame and poor idea, especially since you can notice a huge difference in Curly's performance from the new footage compared to the reused. Also, the footage from SO LONG adds nothing because in it, the Stooges are looking for Convict 41144, yet there's never an explanation of why. That was very lazy and confusing.

The weakest of the Curly shorts.

Rather Weak Film for the Boys

Beer Barrel Polecats (1946)

** (out of 4)

Curly, Moe and Larry buy a book on how to make beer so the three put their brains together and brew a batch. Things don't go as planned and soon the three are in jail after Curly tries to sell to an undercover cop.

BEER BARREL POLECATS is perhaps the weakest Stooges short up to this point in their careers. This was filmed after Curly had suffered a number of strokes so I'm going to guess that this played a part in the final product. There just isn't too much going on in this film and there certainly aren't enough laughs to make it worth sitting through a second time. The first portion of the film contains a few minor laughs as the beer making process is a disaster but the scenes in jail are all rather weak and they don't contain a single laugh.

Wissenswertes
This was the first short Curly did after he had suffered the latest of a series of small strokes. It affected both his speech and timing and is much thinner in this short as well. The volume of stock footage used here is to give Curly some rest.

Patzer
In the stock footage from In the Sweet Pie and Pie (1941), the boys are wearing license plates on their prison uniforms dating 1942. The new footage for this short was shot in 1945.

Larry: [exiting cocktail lounge] How do you like that? No beer! You know, this is the sixteenth place we've been in?
Moe: Yeah, there ain't a bottle of beer in town.
