Great Stooges short!, 15 June 2004
10/10
Author: Movie Nuttball from U.S.A.

The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team!

Oily To Bed, Oily to Rise is a great one with Curly! The part where the Stooges are in the barn is hilarious! I love the outside nature of the short film! Dick Curtis, Eddie Laughton, Richard Fiske, Eva McKenzie, and Victor Travers are in this one along with the beautiful Lorna Gray and Dorothy Moore! There is another Stooges short similar like this with Joe called Oil's Well That Ends Well which a decent short. Oily To Bed, Oily to Rise I strongly recommend!
