THREE STOOGES: “IDIOTS DELUXE” (1945)

SUMMARY:         RUNNING TIME: 17:30 Min. (Black & White)

Produced and directed by Jules White off Elwood Ullman’s script, this Stooges comedy is told in flashback by defendant Moe, who is on the witness stand facing assault charges.  Already a nervous wreck, a convalescing Moe is convinced by his musician roommates, Larry & Curly, to go on a camping trip for fresh air and relaxation. 

Yet, a nosy bear cub keeps poking around their cabin, so the trio decides to go bear hunting.  More specifically, Moe sends his pals after the bear while he stresses over stressing out.  As it’s revealed, Curly & Larry are the ones pressing charges against an ax-wielding Moe.

REVIEW:

While Larry and Curly share scenes tag-teaming gags, a low-key Moe holds up his end, too.  Still, the bear swipes the best “Idiots Deluxe” material away from the Stooges.  Aside from the dubious visual of Moe chasing after his friends with an axe, “Idiots Deluxe” supplies watchable Stooge entertainment.
