One of the best of the Three Stooges episodes with Shemp. Very funny, with good gags throughout, and a supporting cast that includes Christine McIntyre and Emil Sitka. Not to be missed!
If you want to see a really good version of this film, see the 1938 version with Louis Hayward as Louis XIV and his twin Phillipe. Hayward was so much better than DiCaprio, whom I really like, in this film. The original had everything - this one is about half as good.
This is without doubt the great serial of all time. Sure, the special effects are cheesy by today's standards. But it has the ultimate hero in Buster Crabbe as Flash Gordon, the ultimate villain in Charles Middleton as Ming the Merciless (never better) and a bunch of other good characters like Prince Thun, the undersea king Kala, and especially the hilarious King Vultan. Plus Jean Rogers as Dale and the sultry Priscilla Lawson as Princess Aura. My only questions is: why is Ming the only Asian guy on the planet Mongo? Tons of fun even today, and Buster Crabbe remains the true hero - no gray areas with him.
