... View MoreThis is a somewhat familiar storyline of the good-hearted Three Stooges trying to help out their girls by earning some money to get them out of debt. In this case, their nasty boss is threatening their girls father. The boss also is the boys' boss as all six of them work in this saloon out West. It's not the "Old West" days, though, because there are automobiles but everything else looks like the 1800s. The boys also hope to marry the girls, if they are financially better off, so that's added incentive.As also is the case many times, the nasty boss is a crook. In this story, the guy and a cohort had robbed a bank and stashed the money in a hole in the ground outside of town. You-know-who just happens to discover the money the next day!Among the insane sights in this Stooges short is a burro wearing galoshes. The burro is named "Yorick," and when it appears it was accidentally blown up, yes, we hear: "Alas, poor Yorick. We knew him well." (You knew that line was coming!)Overall, a silly and so-so episode but entertaining in its goofy way.
... View More"Yes, We Have No Bonanza" is a very good Three Stooges Western directed by Del Lord. Moe, Larry, and Curly are waiters and bartender, respectfully, at a saloon called Maxey's Place. Their mission is to raise enough money in order to help three pretty saloon gals (Suzanne Kaaren, Lola Jensen, and Jean Carmen) pay off their father's debt to the saloon's crooked owner (Dick Curtis). The Stooges eventually decide that digging for buried treasure just might be the solution.Highlights: At the opening of this film, the Stooges and the three gals (who unfortunately don't sing very well) harmonize "Red River Valley" and "She'll Be Comin' around the Mountain When She Comes." Curly tosses a beer mug at Moe, who catches it successfully; Larry isn't so successful at catching, and the beer splashes in Moe's face, after which Moe bashes Larry's forehead with the mug. The funniest line in this short occurs when Curly explains to Moe, "I can see it now: me coming home from a hard day's work, I whistle for the dog, and my wife comes out." There exists the usual slapstick as the boys use picks and shovels to dig for gold. And for the ending, Curly recites the title of this film and gets knocked out with a brick."Yes, We Have No Bonanza" is quite an enjoyable Three Stooges short. Some Stooge fans might not consider this film to be a Western per se, because of the appearances of automobiles and scooters and such, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, "Yes, We Have No Bonanza" hits its mark in the laughter department.
... View MoreI know I've seen this one a million times,BUT Is this the one where Curley says"Ain't Nature Wonderful"?I have a tapeworm's lunch bet on it! According to your guidelines, a comment have to be 10 lines or more. I don't think anyone of the Stooges shorts had more than ten lines of dialog, and you want 10 lines of comments? That's stretching things a little, don't you think, unless of course, the one's submitting comments are a bit on the long winded sort. I'm having difficulty stretching this request longer then I have proceeded so far. I still need two lines in order for this request to go through. I've already over burnt the toast for the tapeworm lunch, on the pure premise that I will be losing this bet in the first place, because this isn't the type of site I was looking for. A place where Stooge devotees could get an answer to questions that goggle doesn't even possess. Is that 10 yet?Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. It rottenly is! And I know that was spelled wrong, Spelt, if you're from the U.K.
... View MoreThe Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team! This is a very funny Three Stooges western short. All of the performances are very good and Curly is hilarious! Dick Curtis performs well as the villain and Lynton Brent does as well. Also there are brief but good performances by Vernon Dent, Jean Carmen, Lola Jensen, Suzanne Kaaren. I recommend this Three Stooges short!
