I was jumping like crazy when the video store called me to let me know that this movie "Who Done It" was in. I'm happy I didn't get a speeding ticket as I was racing there to pick it up.
I have just about all the dialogue and scenes memorized and I laugh constantly from the nuttiness of this movie plus all its characters.
One thing that really gets me is the beautiful women that work in these shorts. In this case I'm talking about Christine McIntyre. I think she has been in maybe twenty plus movies with the Three Stooges and has played a myriad of different characters. A very accomplished actress.
The next thing that gets me is the character "The Goon". I always wonder where do they pick these guys up from. You know full well that our heroes, the Three Stooges will always find some way to defeat these monsters. Until they do, it's funny just watching the Stooges just trying to avoid him.
As far as I am concerned, this is one of the better, if not one of the best Three Stooges shorts!

One of the very best Three Stooges shorts ever. A spooky house full of evil guys and "The Goon" challenge the Alert Detective Agency's best men. Shemp is in top form in the famous in-the-dark scene. Emil Sitka provides excellent support in his Mr. Goodrich role, as the target of a murder plot. Before it's over, Shemp's "trusty little shovel" is employed to great effect. This 16 minute gem moves about as fast as any Stooge's short and packs twice the wallop. Highly recommended.
Another good Stooge short!Christine McIntyre is so lovely and evil and the same time in this one!She is such a great actress!The Stooges are very good and especially Shemp and Larry!This to is a good one to watch around Autumn time!
What can you say about this one? One of the all-time greats and in my top 5 of Shemp films. Every stooge is on top of his game here and Shemp & Christine McIntyre make a fabulous duo. Their on screen chemistry is amazing.
The detective themed episodes with Shemp were almost always classics and this is the best. Highlights include Shemp's camera that gets distracted by Christine's finer assets (the niece is nice), Larry's smile at the camera, the poisoning scene, the chase from the goon and of course the "light to dark" fight sequence at the end. This short is stooge heaven.
Definitely one of the best Shemp short films you can come by.

One the best Shemp's episode, Moe, Larry and Shemp as private detective has a hard assignment to protect a millionaire Mr. Goodrich played by the clumsy Emil Sitka, the man disappears, the trio now try out makes a fully investigation to reach in some clue, helped by Goodrich's niece as always Christina McIntyre, one the most funny sequence when Shemp is analyzing thru the camera on the table he lifts and finds Moe's face, what scene, between the physical humor oriented, a slapstick comedy, many weird and funny situations spreading all around including the famous blackout scene, my heroes are still funny than never!!
