Three Dark Horses

An amazing little short film, with very little in the way of scenery or sound stages that this was shot on, but to quote Curly "I don't care". The first half is classic stooge mayhem. You know what's coming as soon as Bill Wick utters "What we need are three guys who are too dumb to think and will do what we tell them. Now where will we find such guys". Enter Moe, Larry, Shemp.

The second half of this film is relatively quiet compared to the mayhem caused in Wick's office, yet the film doesn't miss a beat. Love the way Larry overloads his coffee with sugar then pawns it off on Shemp, who adds a few more drops to make it just right. Moe's nomination speech (when our national economy is at stake, and "steak" is 3 dollars a pound), his hilarious exchange with Larry as they clean up confetti, the bird in the turkey, and a nice clobbering of the crooks at the end add up to another grade A comedy.
