A Short Short

Before watching Knutzy Knights I would remember that this is a cut down version of a 1948 Three Stooges entitled Squareheads Of The Round Table. I guess you could call this a short short.

Moe, Larry, and Shemp find themselves caught in palace intrigue as black prince Phil Van Zandt seeks to poison the king and marry the lovely princess Christine McIntire. But Cupid has three little Stooge helpers and McIntire has the love of honest blacksmith Jock Mahoney in the days before he became The Range Rider or Yancey Derringer. Which is why you know this is cut rate Stooge item because Mahoney was doing feature films now.

I'd hold out for the full length short and get that much more Stooge.

The Stooges play matchmaker ...........

This 1954 short from the Three Sooges is set in the days of kings and castles. Shemp is featured here as the boys try to help Jock Mahoney (TV's Range Rider) romance the lovely Ms. McIntire.

While Curly was my favorite Stooge, Shemp was terrific and this was one of the best featuring the homely, but lovable comic. Mahoney was surprisingly good in this comedy and McIntire was as funny as ever.

The knuckleheads are in fine form here, involved in one fiasco after another. This is an above average Stooge short, with good pacing and many laugh out loud moments.

Give this one a try..... the guys are "victims of soicumtance" !

One of the best.

One of my favorite shorts. Shemp stole the show. The most underrated stooge and one of the most funny.

average Shemp Stooges

It's the olden days of knights and princesses. Princess Elaine is broken-hearted. Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Shemp Howard are troubadours sent in to cheer her up. She has been promised to the Black Prince, but she prefers the town blacksmith Cedric. The Stooges fail to cheer her up and set off to bring Cedric to her.

I can do without her singing. It's an unfunny record scratch. The slapstick is standard Three Stooges. The jokes could be funnier. Despite the costumes, this is a fairly regular Shemp Stooges affair. It's not great. It's not bad. It's very average. Shemp is always going to be the replacement.

Trivia
The last Stooges short to feature new footage of regular supporting actor Vernon Dent, who was already suffering from diabetes.

Goofs
After Moe says "I have a plan", he tells the others to put on armor. Larry turns to the suit of armor standing behind them to start putting it on, it then cuts to the next scene. In the next scene, the boys are all in armor; but none of it's the suit that Larry had reached for.
