Great Three Stooges short!

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!

This Three Stooges short is one of My favorites of all! The Stooges are really funny here and Vernon Dent and Christine McIntyre are very good here as well. Duke York was very good as the wolf man and he was funny in some scenes as well. This Three Stooges short is a great one to watch around Halloween time!
