Um Cavalo e Três Cavalgaduras

This is a great short by the stooges the help a woman named Nell by getting an IOU from a shooter named Double Decker. Its a funny short because everytime Curly sees a mouse he beats people up and the only way to calm him down is to feed him cheese, also the part where there dancing is funny. Moe:"you know your not a bad dancer" Curly:"aw I bet you say that to all the boys"

Just like Punch Drunks (1934), the second Stooge short, this time, in Horses' Collars (1935), their fifth short, Curly goes into a frenzy, when he sees mice. He can only be calmed down by a piece of cheese shoved in his face, by Moe or Larry. This manages to get the boys out of a lot of trouble in this film. This one has a wild west feel to it, with a surprisingly, violent sheriff. It is another indication, that these shorts, in the 1930s, were originally intended, to be geared towards adults. Moe, Larry and Curly are sent to an old west town to collect an IOU. Horses' Collars (1935), is one of the more odd Stooge films, from the early days of the theatrical act.

6.9 (C MyGrade) = 7 IMDB.

One of my all-time favorite Stooge comedies. The boys are private eyes trying to help their client, Nell, retrieve her "i.o.u." from Double Deal Decker. Whenever Curly sees a mouse he goes crazy, and the only way to calm him is to feed him cheese. This situation happens several times in this short, usually when the boys find themselves in a tense situation with Double Deal Decker.

What I'm reviewing here is the fifth in The Three Stooges' short film series they made for Columbia Pictures. In this one, they are detectives sent to retrieve an I.O.U. from a bad guy so pretty woman Nell won't lose her ranch. While that's basically it for the plot, there are also many classic scenes of Curley (as his name was spelled at the time) going berserk whenever a mouse appears and Moe and Larry have to provide him with certain kinds of cheese in order to calm him down. It's a good thing whenever that happens though because plenty of deserving punches happen to the bad guys that provides many of the genuine laughs here. I also loved the scene involving shooting coins down not to mention the comic dancing in between. Not a great short but Horses' Collars should provide plenty of fun for die-hard Stooges fans.

This is another wonderful Three Stooges short, despite the meaningless title. Here, the boys are Pinkerton detectives sent out West to help an innocent girl being bullied by a ruffian – a premise which actually anticipates Laurel & Hardy’s classic WAY OUT WEST (1937), and even includes a similar scene in which The Stooges attempt to retrieve an important document from the villain’s safe! Gags include the boys playing tough guys at the saloon – where they inadvertently set the sheepskin trousers of the baddie’s henchman on fire – and taking to the dance-floor in a ruse to get at the piece of paper jealously guarded by the heavy inside his wallet. Still, the best moments of the film involve Curley going into a raging fit – a similar affliction to the one he had in PUNCH DRUNKS (1934) – at the sight of a mouse (asked why, Moe replies “That’s because his father was a rat!”) which he’s only able to get out of by being force fed a piece of cheese (“Moe, Larry…cheese!”).
