Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Sameeha Pugh It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Three Little Pigskins" is the Stooges approach to Disney's successful "3 Little Pigs", an Academy Award winning cartoon from the 1930s. This one here runs for 18.5 minutes and is among the longer Stooges short movie. It is in black-and-white and was made over 80 years ago, which was still fairly early, even for the Stooges and, thus, has Curly still on board. Also in terms of cast and the people who made this, it's mostly people who worked on/in several Stooges movies, especially director Ray McCarey, One exception is Lucille Ball, who co-starred in here during the very early stages of her super-successful career. The two other actresses did not become famous. The Stooges run into a trio of young attractive women, but sadly they come with a trio of dangerous gangsters. Many complications and comical situations ensue and in the end we get to witness the Stooges playing ball. Also pretty chaotic. But never really too funny. Even if this one is among the Stooges' most known films, I don't think it is among their best. Not recommended.

JoeKarlosi Maybe it's partly because football bores me to death that this Three Stooges movie doesn't really do that much for me. There are still some laughs here though as Moe, Larry and Curley somehow get mistaken for three star football players who unwittingly become involved with the girlfriends of a gang of mobsters. They ultimately wind up on the football field where they can create havoc there as well. The real interest in this one is not so much regarding the Stooges ... it is to have the opportunity of watching a very young 20-ish Lucille Ball getting a chance to mix it up with the fellas. **1/2 out of ****

slymusic "Three Little Pigskins" is a very good Three Stooges comedy that deals with football follies. Curly, Larry, and Moe are hobos mistaken for the Three Horsemen, a trio of crackerjack football players from Boulder Dam College. In terms of the plot, need I say more? Obviously the major highlight from "Three Little Pigskins" is the much-too-brief football sequence at the end, which features several hilarious mishaps. Other highlights: Curly breaks a dumbwaiter apart, causing his two partners, as well as mob leader Joe Stacks (Walter Long), to fall down the shaft in succession. This short marks the first occurrence of Larry laughing at another Stooge for getting creamed and then receiving the same kind of punishment; in this case, it happens during the way-too-long seltzer bottle scene. AND when the Stooges' seltzer bottle antics have gone too far, they are briefly scolded for horsing around while there are ladies present, so they shift gears and squirt the ladies! (Incidentally, one of the ladies is a very young Lucille Ball, believe it or not.) "Three Little Pigskins" is one of the earliest Three Stooges shorts at Columbia Pictures, so the boys still had the advantage of youth during the strenuous football sequence. Moe once referred to this film as "a humdinger of bangs and bruises"; specifically, this meant a broken leg for Curly, a knocked-out tooth for Larry, and a series of broken limbs for the Stooges' stunt doubles on the football field!

MARIO GAUCI With this fourth Three Stooges short, I feel like they’re growing on me as I liked it quite a bit! Racketeer Walter Long (a great Laurel & Hardy foil) needs players who can be bought for a fixed game he’s organizing. His moll (a young Lucille Ball) and her companions meet The Stooges dressed in football gear – the boys are down on their luck, so they accept a job advertising for a football team – and, mistaking them for star players, bring them home. After the initial misconception about the men’s presence in Long’s apartment – leading to a delightful chase involving a base-less dumb waiter – The Stooges find themselves in a football stadium trying to make head or tails of the game, to the chagrin of the sinister-looking gangster! The short’s football craziness and the hijinks in the apartment are clearly inspired by HORSE FEATHERS (1932), one of The Marx Bros.’ greatest vehicles.
