Movie Review: My Favorite one as well as The Best Three Stooges Feature ever made
Summary: 5 Stars

This is without a doubt The Best of all of The Three Stooges short film subjects ever made.The Laughs really most especially pick up in the 2nd half after The Stooges land in Germany starting with Curly throwing a grenade out the window and thusly upon its explosion The Nazi's get stripped down to their white long undies with the black Swastikas on their backs,The "Checkers Game of which in conclusion Curly tells Moe "Crown me.",then he does and the Nazis later find The 28th Division in The Red Sea.The slapping around,Then Larry as his most hysterical that he's ever been as "Moronica" incognito.The Hitler Picture on Curly of which He gets to use against The Nazi's so that Moe and Larry can K.O. them and then in the end When Curly See's The US Marines Dog and shows him The Picture without realizing what his over coat says and then The Dog bites him and stays attached to him with the Car taking off without him and he chases it with the Dog attached to him.Also Please do check this and all movies out here on amazon.com,The ImBd sites and You Tube as well

Summary of 3 Stooges: Higher Than a Kite [VHS]

The three films in this entry in the Columbia series of Three Stooges shorts are all concerned with World War II anti-Axis plotlines. In "The Yoke's on Me" (1944, short number 79), the boys are less than honorably discharged from the army and want to do their bit by becoming farmers. Cheated into purchasing a tumbledown farm on which the only livestock are a stray duckling and an ostrich, they find themselves chasing three stereotyped Japanese soldiers separated from their submarine with predictable results. It is difficult to overlook the cartoonish treatment of the Japanese, but one must consider the circumstances at the time of filming.

"No Dough Boys" (1944, #82) begins with the Stooges themselves in Japanese military costume posing for a propaganda picture and being chased by a patriotic waiter, whose store just happens to abut that of a Nazi spy (Vernon Dent). The two key gags in this short include Curly's ability to smoke his fist (an idea lifted from the Laurel & Hardy "Blockheads") and the boys attempting an acrobat routine to prove their identities as Japanese. Here the real Japanese are simply menacing rather than clownish.

"Higher Than a Kite" (1943, number 72) is one of the most plotless in the series. Half the film is taken up with the Stooges somewhere in Great Britain trying to find a squeak in a car. ("What does a squeak look like?" asks Curly in a more reasonable moment.) The close-ups of Moe's head caught in a pipe as the other two try to extricate him are painful rather than funny. Hiding from their boss, they find themselves in a bomb that is dropped into a house (in France?) filled with German soldiers. Moe and Curly pose as German officers while Larry does a Carmen Miranda (or Moronica, in this case) drag routine. It is very uneven and stretches too far for laughs, even for this series. --Frank Behrens
