Summary of 3 Stooges: Listen Judge [VHS]

"Bubble Trouble" (1953, number 151) should be titled "Remake Trouble." A good deal of footage is taken from 1947's "All Gummed Up," up to the point when the landlord (Emil Sitka) takes the boys' rejuvenation potion, and instead of shrinking as in the first version he turns into a gorilla to give us a different ending. It is a joy to see blonde Christine McIntyre finally get to do some Stooging herself, although the long "bubblegum on the cake" routine does outlive its humor.

"Dunked in the Deep" (1949, number 119) would be pirated for a remake a few years later after Shemp's death and called "Commotion on the Ocean." Here a foreign spy puts some secret documents into watermelons (what they hold is of no concern) and has the three bring them to a ship on which they find they are stowaways. By now, Moe has taken on the Curly expression "Oh, a backbiter" while Shemp uses the very funny Curly slow walk across the set in the midst of an otherwise swift chase. Lack of any real plot calls for such fillers as Shemp trying to get into a hammock and the running gag of his being soaked each time he looks out a porthole. --Frank Behrens
