Uncivil Warriors

This review is of the eighth Three Stooges short they made for Columbia Pictures. In this one, Moe, Larry, and Curley (as his name was spelled at the time) are Union spies during the Civil War disguising themselves as Confederates in order to discover their plans. Plenty of many very funny and what would become very familiar routines abound here and they all come together perfectly. And it's always a treat to see usual supporting player Bud Jamison whenever he has a scene with the boys. Also, usual writer Felix Adler and director Del Lord-with only his second film with the boys-do a fine job of making this an almost perfect Stooges short. Oh, and while there's a visual joke near the end that would probably be politically incorrect today, the way Moe explains it does excuse it a little. So on that note, Uncivil Warriors comes highly recommended.

One of my favorites. By this point the Three Stooges it hit their stride. One of the funniest of all time

During the US Civil War, Operator 12 (Larry Fine), Operator 14 (Moe Howard), and Operator 15 (Curly Howard) are given a secret mission behind the southern lines. They take on the captured identities of Lieutenant Duck (Larry), Captain Dodge (Moe), and Major Hyde (Curly).

This has all the great Three Stooges slapstick. It has a bit of drama but it's mostly Stooges stupidity in the funniest sense. The feathers in the cake are a charming touch. A cross-dressing Curly is also good. This ends with the guys fired from the cannon and landing on the northern general. It's a bit abrupt but the 20 min short still works. The boys could have at least given a quick report to the general.

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!

This is a great Three Stooges short and it has become one of My favorites! Its hilarious! Great one from beginning to end! Bud Jamison as usual puts on a great performance! The cake eating scene, the questioning scene with Theodore Lorch, and the end scenes are very funny. This is a very good Three Stooges short!

The Three Stooges are Union spies sent to snoop on the activities of the Confederates in this different short from their earliest period. This gives them the opportunity to dress up in Civil War costumes, which boosts the level of their shenanigans slightly. Good scenes include them trying to outwit usual foil Bud Jamison, as well as a classic routine that would be repeated many times as this series continued: Curley helps bake a layer cake but mistakenly adds a torn and discarded pot holder into the pan, causing feathers to be coughed up later on while eating it.
