Featured review
I know that the Three Stooges aren't to everyone's tastes. However, in this one, they shine. Of course, we are first introduced to the combative trio who work picking up refuse. We then move to a couple men, one of whom makes a bet he can use environment to turn a base individual into one who can function well in society. From there we have a series of jaw dropping scenes. The funniest of all, in my opinion, involves a pretty dance instructor who asks them to copy her lead. But a fly goes down her dress and she goes into amazing gyrations. The copy her and it is absolutely precious. I also found the conclusion a cut above others in the Stooges canon.
