Pretty good but a tad uneven, 16 June 2007
6/10
Author: planktonrules from Bradenton, Florida

This is a decent Three Stooges featuring Moe, Curly and Larry. Unlike their other shorts, this one has the team working for a charity show for workers at a defense plant and so they can do many of their old and familiar vaudeville routines--particularly the "Niagara Falls" bit (also done in 1944 by Abbott and Costello in one of their films). The problem is that the Niagara Falls bit is awfully familiar stuff and the ladies who appear in the show with them are a major distraction. Sure, they are included as love interests for the boys but having them do a majorly lame and dull dance routine in the show was a very flat moment in an otherwise decent short. It's watchable to fans and non-fans alike, but it's not one of their best outings. Still, it beats any of the stuff they did with Joe Besser and Joe DeRita!
