    Good Three Stooges short!

    The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team!

    One of the most different Three Stooges shorts is Three Hams on Rye. In this short are the beautiful Christine McIntyre, Nanette Bordeaux, Emil Sitka, Mildred Olsen, and Blackie Whiteford. The acting by these actors are good especially by McIntyre and Sitka. There are many funny scenes here that I think most Three Stooges fans will love! In My opinion this one of the most different Three Stooges shorts. I strongly recommend this one!

    should be bigger slapstick

    The producer is getting tired of being panned by a theater critic. The Stooges are bumbling set painters. They have small parts in the play which turns into chaos due to their bad cake making.

    Of all the things in this short, I love Larry washing lettuce the most. It is ridiculously surreal and pure non-sense. As for the play, that should be the big payoff. I'm expecting some big-time Three Stooges slapstick. The guys are older and the big stunts are not coming. They're not even doing that much of the old classics. Eating rubbery cake is not big enough. It's small fun but it's supposed to be big enough to play to the back rows.

    Three Hams on Rye was a funny Three Stooges short with Moe, Larry, and Shemp

    This has Moe, Larry, and Shemp as stagehands who also appear in a skit during the stage show playing Southern gentlemen. Emil Sitka is the show's producer who's tired of a certain critic panning his revues to he makes those Stooges throw him out. But those guys don't even know what he looks like...Plenty of funny visual gags and lines in this uneven storyline but what else do you expect from shorts like this? Also appearing is Christine McIntyre as, I think, a woman in that skit I referenced. Perhaps the funniest sequences involves first making a cake and then seeing them eat it on stage. So that's a recommendation of Thre Hams on Rye.

      The 3 tones heard when Moe slaps Larry and Shemp for not reminding him to get the salad and the cake was the 3-tone identifier for NBC known as the NBC Chimes that date back to at least the early 1930s (obviously originating on radio).
    • Goofs
      When B.K. Doaks (Emil Sitka) is sitting against a packing crate after being knocked senseless, his eyes close just as Shemp throws water in his face to wake him.
