    Awesome Stooges!

    I was fortunate enough to see this film on the big screen the other night. What a treat! Moe plays Hailstone, the dictator of Moronica. Curly is Field Marshal Herring and Larry is Minister of Propaganda. Three former ministers, Ixnay, Umpchay, and Amscray want to reinstall the former King of Moronica. They plan on having the king's daughter plant a bomb in their office. Do plots really matter in a Stooge short? The satire of Hitler was funny enough. Moe's barking of orders in "German" was hilarious. There was even references to a Japanese man taking photographs, which I didn't know was a stereotype of the Japanese even in the early 1940's. Fun, fun, fun, laugh out loud hilarious.

    A Different Short from the Boys

    I'll Never Heil Again (1941)

    *** (out of 4)

    Sequel to YOU NAZTY SPY! has Moe (The Dictator), Larry (Minister of Propaganda) and Curly (Field Marshall) successfully taking over the country of Moronica but a spy has planted a bomb for them in hopes that the old leader can take over. This short from the boys is actually different one a couple of levels. The obvious is the fact that this is the only sequel The Three Stooges did during their careers. The surprising thing about this short is the fact that the majority of the jokes are dialogue driven, which certainly wasn't the norm for the boys. I was really surprised to see how much of it was dialogue driven but even more shocked that most of the jokes were funny. Obviously a lot of the humor goes towards the boys simply being dumb in what they say and this includes the countless ways that they say hail. Another funny bit of dialogue deals with the boys talking with other evil leaders about who really owns the world. There's also some physical humor, which includes a very funny pool game as well as a few slaps with a turkey. While I don't think this short quite lives up to the original film, there are still plenty of laughs to be had here so fans should enjoy it.

    An Excellent Sequel

    This is an excellent sequel to "You Nazty Spy". Moe proves that he is the ultimate imitator of the little sign painter and the other actors in who played the caricatures of "Il Dulce" Mussolini, Hirohito and Stalin did wonderful jobs themselves. Also, John "Tiny" Lipson (King Vultan from the original Flash Gordon serial) does a great job of playing the Bay of Rum. Check out where he tries to teach Curly how to smoke a hookah.

    Great satire

    Great satire and a treat for historians. Keep in mind this was made during World War II in what looks like late 1940-1941. One of the characters attending the meeting looks a lot like Stalin. Germany and the USSR were buddies until June 22, 1941. References to Greece and the blitz are priceless. A stooge classic!

    Moronica For Morons

    This particular short subject for the one and only time in their careers has the 3 Stooges villains in their own film. But what villains they be in this rough house satire on the government in Germany.

    Put that Charlie Chaplin mustache on Moe and he makes a wonderful dictator of Moronica who overthrew the traditional monarchy there with the battle cry of Moronica for Morons. In fact with Larry as the propaganda minister and Curly as the defense minister the Stooges short is a wonderful followup to Chaplin's The Great Dictator.

    The Three Stooges were never terribly original in their material, they borrowed from other comics quite liberally. Whole bits like them playing catch with the globe with their 'allies' are taken right from The Great Dictator. But the Stooges never had the writing talent available to them that other comics did, they were burlesque comics who worked fast and cheap. But always funny.

    I'll Never Heil Again is one of their best short subject and I think Moe is as good a Hitler as Chaplin was.

      During filming, Moe Howard was running late for his daughter's birthday, so he was rushed home in full costume, much to the surprise of his neighbors. He went through his daughter's entire birthday dressed like Adolf Hitler, stopping traffic and ending up with numerous calls to the police about it.
