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!

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!
The radio announces that The Phantom Gang has stuck once again. Wealthy Mr. Goodrich fears being next and calls upon the Alert Detective Agency which consists of Larry, Moe, and Shemp. Goodrich's niece, his butler, and monstrous goon Nikko are actually part of the Phantom Gang. They knock him out and take him captive to take his money. Then the Stooges show up.
The setup is a little clunky. I'm not sure the Stooges should be tied up or that The Phantom Gang makes sense. Being tied up leads to one functional joke but the start could be much smarter. Why would The Phantom Gang give a warning to Goodrich? I do have to say that this is probably the best Shemp so far. I like the drink switcheroo turning into a Curly bit. I like picture bit. This is basically a Scooby mystery if it's all Shaggy and Scooby.

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.
This is my second favorite of the Three Stooges episodes I've seen! In this episode Moe, Larry, and Shemp play inept detectives who are sent to protect Mr. Goodrich, a millionaire who been prusued and kidnapped by thugs. Along the way, they go to the millionaire's mansion and get into the most hilarious situations one could imagine in the Three Stooges episode. One funny part was when the millionaire's evil niece drugged Shemp! LOL!
The best part was Shemp and his 'trusty shovel' bit. I always crack up when I see it! Since I didn't have this one on video, I was really thrilled and amazed when I saw "Who Done It" in the "Classic" movie section where the other Stooge videos were! So, if you're a Shemp fan like I am, this Stooge episode is really worth seeing as well as it is worth your time! I give it 4 1/2 stars!
