Disorder in the Court

Without a doubt, this always has been and always will be my favorite stooge flick. I loved every minute of it and you will always get a laugh from the three stooges.

The plot is that Gail's life is at stake for a murder that she did not commit at dancer's club. Her only witnesses are the three stooges that can prove that she did not commit the crime. Through their zanny testimonies they find a way to save her life from being thrown away to prison.

This is one of the best stooge comedies, and I would highly recommend it to any true stooge fans! 10/10

In the Top Five Best Three Stooges shorts

I've been a fan of the Three Stooges shorts since I was a kid and I've seen them all. The ones with Curly are usually the best but there are some with Shemp that are equally as good. After Shemp, forget it; the shorts with Curly Joe are just plain awful.

Disorder In The Court has everything you need in a Three Stooges short. At 16 minutes long it's chocked full of gags, jokes, puns and slapstick.

The funniest scene is Curly taking the oath to tell the truth before he takes the witness stand. This routine is a genuine classic and it's funny no matter how many times you see it. Curly also has some great pratfalls in the courtroom as he attempts to hop over a railing. There is plenty of eye gouging, face slapping and ear pulling for even the most seasoned Stooge fan.

(I have to throw in that if you like horror films check out Sam Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy with its numerous references to the Three Stooges, of whom he is a big fan.)

Five nyuks for this one.

Curly's Comic Genius On Display In Court

This is one of the all-time famous Three Stooges films. It's total insanity, start-to-finish, and even though it's corny it still gets a ton of laughs even today. To me, it also demonstrates the comic genius of Curly.

All the action takes place in court and we see only one witness: Curly, of all people! He and the boys are trying to get their friend "Gail Tempest" (those who remember actress Gail Storm will appreciate this humor) out of a murder charge. "Who killed Cock Robin" is the question here.

Curly goes through his classic routine of trying to take his hat off, raise his right hand and put his left hand on the Bible all at the same time! It's almost become a classic routine. He does other things in here, too, that only Curly could pull off.

Watching this yesterday for the first time in about 20 years and probably the 10th overall, I still laughed out loud at several things, namely: What the jury looked like after the attorney says, "It is merely an attempt to influence this intelligent, broad-minded and most-intelligent jury!" (You see 12 of the dumbest-looking people you've ever seen!); Moe shooting a "tarantula" (some guy's wig) and Larry doing his Tarzan yell.

What can you say? This is The Three Stooges at the height of their hilarity.

Disorder in the court!

Why Columbia Pictures chose to let this classic fall into public domain while maintaining and renewing its ownership of "Woman Haters" is truly a mystery to me.

The result of Columbia Pictures' not-so-wise logic is that this short has been appearing and reappearing on budget videos and later on budget DVD compilations, usually coupled with "Brideless Grooms" (which was pretty good) and "Malace in the Palace" (which was OK).

This comedy short is truly a classic. The slapstick is non-stop and it is impossible to say who really stole the scenes.

Was it Curly when he took the stand? ("Raise your hand, take off your hat, put your hand here") Or was it Suzanne Kaaren, with her million dollar legs? (Yes, she really had her legs insured for a million dollars.) The Stooges also show off their musical talent which translated to musical comedy. (Did the late great Spike Jones get his idea from this film?) A laugh riot for all...

Hilarious

This hilarious short comedy is one of the best-remembered Three Stooges movies, with plenty of zany slapstick and other gags that make very good use of the courtroom setting. It builds up nicely, starting with some light comedy including puns and sight gags, and it ends up in a typical Stooges free-for-all.

The story starts with Moe, Larry, and Curly being called as witnesses in a murder trial, and it adds just enough detail to the trial itself to maintain a story line in the midst of the gradually increasing chaos. Many of the props in the courtroom, from the evidence exhibits to the furniture, are used to good effect.

The setting works very well in bringing the Stooges with their free-wheeling approach to things into the courtroom with its staid, time-honored ways of doing things. It's funny in itself, and it allows for some amusing clashes, which at times also poke fun at the absurdity of some of the court system's archaic customs and terminology. It's especially enjoyable to watch the court functionaries attempting to 'swear in' Curly as a witness, a sequence that Curly pulls off especially well.

"Disorder in the Court" really has everything that you hope for in a Three Stooges comedy, and it's among their best movies.
