VHS Movie Reviews of 3 Stooges: Three Arabian Nuts [VHS]

Movie Review: Great collection.
Summary: 5 Stars

SING A SONG OF SIX PANTS (1947)- Finally, this short is released by Columbia instead of other low-budget companies. The quality is far better than those cheap tapes that are extremely bad quality. This is a great short. A Stooge classic. This could be one of the more violent Stooge shorts, but I think it's okay.

ALL GUMMED UP (1947)- Great short. I've always particularly liked the end gag where gum is mistaken for marshmallows. The Stooges and Christine McIntrye all eat a cake with bubble gum on it. Soon, all four of them are blowing bubbles. I recommend this.

A great Three Stooges tape, well worth adding to your collection.

Summary of 3 Stooges: Three Arabian Nuts [VHS]

"Sing a Song of Sixpence" (1947, number 102) has the boys operating a tailor shop in which a criminal on the lam hides and poses as a tailor's dummy while they strip him down to make a sale. There is the usual series of gags with the cleaning and pressing equipment, including the ray of sunlight on a garment that is mistaken for a spot.

"All Gummed Up" (1947, number 103) will show up again almost in its entirety as "Bubble Trouble" in 1953. Here beautiful Christine McIntyre gets a chance to be really comic as she plays an old wife transformed into a young one, while Emil Sitka does a great turn as her inconsiderate, doddering husband. The mixing of the "youth potion" involves the usual Three Stooges doubletalk but done well in this context. The last fourth of this film should be compared with that of the remake, which is also available in the Columbia collection, titled "Listen, Judge." --Frank Behrens
