THE THREE STOOGES ~ Hoi Polloi (1935) / A Gem of a Jam (1943) / Half-Shot Shooters (1936) (1935) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)HOI POLLOI (1935) - A classic short! This had a very clever premise (a spoof of "Pygmalion") which would be reused with the Stooges countless times in the future. The ending is definitely hilarious. One of the Stooges best.
A GEM OF A JAM (1943) - Quite weak. This hardly had any plot, but doesn't have that much funny gags to back it up. Del Lord's usual excellent directorial efforts slipped noticably around this period. Dudley Dickerson was hilarious as usual, though, as the security guard. "What?!! Who's gonna grab who?!!"
HALF SHOT SHOOTERS (1936) - A great short. Also, one of the more violent Stooge shorts, with the Stooges getting vicious revenge on their former Sarge, the examination scenes (watch for that 'gun-in-the-troft' scene), and the ending with the Stooges being killed by a cannon. The premise was semi-reused again in BOOBS IN ARMS, which I thought was better and is my favorite Stooge short. Also, Holland would not allow this short to screen in their country for some reason.
