- "You kleptomaniac!" "If that means what I think it does... I'm guilty."
(Moe & Joe)
|
- Forgetting the Script
After Larry says â€Å"There hasn't been a gentleman in our family in 50 generations!â€, Moe is supposed to respond â€Å"Quit braggin'!â€, but he pauses for a brief period and just looks at Larry with a mean expression before he remembers his line.
- Line Flub
When Sappington (Emil Sitka) brings the Stooges inside the house, he says to one of the professors â€Å"Pardon me, gen....uh...professor, the plumbers are hereâ€. It sounds like Emil almost said â€Å"gentlemenâ€, probably because he was used to saying it so many other times in Stooge shorts.

I've been introducing my 12-year-old son to the Stooges, and I showed him this short as a quick primer of the Besser era (after letting him know not to expect anything like a Curly classic). He enjoyed the pie fight, but his only laugh earlier in the short was at Joe trying to stick the professor's torn-out hair to his own head!
I agree that the supporting actors aren't that good here and that a lot of the original jokes fell flat. My son said Joe's performance was "OK", apparently agreeing with me that Joe, at the least, didn't make things worse than they already were. (I personally think Joe was more convincing in the Curly role than Frome was in the Vernon Dent role.) He was interested to hear about the history of this short and of HOLIDAY, and particularly about how (thanks to reused footage) pies thrown in 1946 hit Joe's face in 1957!
BTW, I like Joe's line (which is one of the very few things here that's not a direct repeat from HOLIDAY): "IF THAT MEANS WHAT I THINK IT DOES... I'm guilty!"

Horrible, almost all the gags from "Half-Wits Holiday" are repeated almost word-for-word in this stinker. At least there were a few funny lines and Joe gets hit quite often. One of the only funny moments was when Milton Frome yells "Noooo!" after Larry cracks the "cat having chickens" joke.1/2 poke

Guys, this short isn't THAT bad. Granted, it's not a classic, but it is at the very least watchable. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars.
