VHS Movie Reviews of Three Stooges: They Stooge to Conga [VHS]

Movie Review: Was there a Lloyd Bridges sighting?
Summary: 4 Stars

Rumor has it that Lloyd Bridges ("Mike Nelson" from Sea Hunt) made his film debut in 1941 in the Three Stooges short, "They Stooge to Conga". Is it true? I have yet to verify this.
For the younger generation, Lloyd Bridges is probably better known as the whacked-out gruff air controller on "Airplane!". He also pops up in Joe Versus the Volcano, and made an appearance on Seinfield as a combative but nearly incapacitated old trainer... it's a riot.

Lloyd died on March 10, 1998, at the age of 85.

Summary of Three Stooges: They Stooge to Conga [VHS]

This might very well be the most interesting of all of the Three Stooges three-episode sets rereleased by Columbia. The first two are inspired by Chaplin's The Great Dictator, and like that earlier film, they work both as satire and as propaganda. In "You Nazty Spy" (1940), their 44th Columbia short, the Stooges are asked to become dictators of Moronica by three ministers who want to overthrow their king. The instructions given are pure Machiavelli: promise them everything, give them nothing, take it all for yourself. Seldom has a Stooges short contained so many nonstop puns, especially those on the map of the territory with such places as the Sea of Biscuit. (A similar map shows up in the sequel.) At the end, the three are eaten by lions!

That ending did not prevent a sequel in 1941, "I'll Never Heil Again" (#56), in which the three are alive and slapping, and the original ministers want their king back. A throwaway sight gag has Herr Hailstone (Moe) removing his mustache to shave under it and sticking it back on. Later, when it comes off in a brawl, Hailstone refers to it as "my personality." A soccer match with a globe as the ball is a clear reference to Chaplin's more subtle use of a balloon-world.

"They Stooge to Conga" (1943, #67) might refer to a second or two of dancing the conga in the last film. But here the boys find a nest of spies, and when Moe dresses again as Hitler, it is only to thwart the enemy. Some close-ups of Moe getting a spike in his eyes and ears are a bit distasteful, but an electrified Curly makes the sequence very funny. --Frank Behrens
