A Missed Fortune

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 hilarious Three Stooges short in My opinion. The Stooges are so funny. Nanette Bordeaux, Vivian Mason, and Suzanne Ridgeway all perform well and they look excellent! Stanley Blystone and Vernon Dent were good. There is another Three Stooges short with Curly very similar like this one called Healthy, Wealthy, and Dumb . I strongly recommend both!

Moe, Larry, and Shemp are having breakfast (in which Moe inadvertently replaces syrup with glue when eating pancakes) when a radio quiz show calls and Shemp correctly guesses the answer leading them all to live it up at a classy hotel. But, of course, that doesn't last for long...This was funny from beginning to end with many of the expected physical comic business you get from the boys. According to this site, this was the last short shown when Moe and Shemp's brother, Curly, was still alive. He had quit the team after his stroke in 1946 leaving Shemp to replace him having previously left back in 1930 to be replaced by the younger Curly. Shemp, himself, would only live for a few more years before he himself had to be replaced...

Shemp wins $50k answering the phone to a radio contest. With his new found fortune, he rents a fancy hotel room for the trio. Of course, they wreck the place. Three gold-diggers and a monkey live in the room next to them. Only, the prize reward is not what he expected.

This is fine standard Three Stooges with Shemp. They could play more with the glue if they stick to each other. The gasoline is stupid, but not in a funny way. It's stupid in a head-scratching way. The hotel is fine and the boys destroy the room as expected. The monkey is weird and fun. The Eastern European ladies could be better. All in all, this is a solid Stooges short.
