I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
You have to wonder what a western starring The Three Stooges nad George O'Brien would be. Well it's not a bad hour of entertainment. O'Brien plays it straight and the Stooges...well are the Stooges.George O'Brien paying himself, is riding to town to sell insurance protection to miners to protect their shipments, when he is attacked by a gang. He is wounded but The Three Stooges in their peddler's wagon arrive on the scene and scare the bandits off.Bad guy Clete (John Merton) reports to boss Taggart (Lyle Talbot) that he has killed O'Brien just as O'Brien and the Stooges ride into town. O'Brien meets mine owner John Sawyer (Monte Blue) and sells him on the insurance idea.Later, Sawyer is planning a large shipment. O'Brien has a plan. He will carry a fake shipment down a back road while the Stooges will carry the real gold in their wagon down the regular road. He draws the plan on the back of a wanted poster. Laura Mason (Sheila Ryan) is concerned over her grandfather's (Clem Bevans) drinking and convinces him to reform and gives him money to buy new clothes.Doc has other ideas and hits the bottle and O'Brien's map falls into Taggart's hands. Knowing the plan Taggart plans a false attack on O'Brien while sending his main force after the Stooges and.....................This was George O'Brien's return to the "B" western after eleven years. Always in great shape, he looked like no time had passed since the end of his series in 1940. Unfortunately, this would be his last "B" western. The Three Stooges perform many of their slap stick routines but are mainly supporting players here. They did have their own director, Edward Bernds though. Fuzzy Knight a seasoned western veteran is totally wasted as the sheriff. He hardly has anything of substance to do.This movie is better than advertised. It's a good little "B" western worth watching.
I got this on DVD just last month, I've been waiting years to see this and I wasn't disappointed! This is a pretty good movie, it's not a straight comedy western but The Stooges provide the big laughs of course. I really enjoyed the fact they got a lot of screen time. The "magical eyeglasses" scene was hilarious and I also loved their attempt at a doctor exam on a prospective client. The acting from O'Brien and everyone else is pretty good and the plot is simple but with some neat little twists, esp concerning Doc Mason and his daughter.The only negative thing I could find was that the Stooges are absent for the last good 15 minutes of the movie before the big climactic fight with the bad guys. It dragged in a few parts when the Stooges were absent for a long time.But other than that I really enjoyed the movie. I wish they had gotten to make more full length movies with Shemp also. It's well worth it to get the DVD with this and "Meet The Baron". Its much better than most of the Curly Joe movies.If your a Three Stooges fan it's well worth your time to check it out!
Mediocre little comic western has George O'Brien playing a character named... George O'Brien. That's a sign of the imagination of this oater. But the Stooges are younger and more agile, seeing as this is a 1951 film, than their later outings in the sixties when they were re-discovered. This is also the only feature film with Shemp Howard in the team. All the later films featured the lamentable Joe DeRita. This is also O'Brien's final feature role.The story is about former marshal O'Brien investigating trouble in a western town involving a gold mine. The Stooges are hustlers selling useless gadgets. O'Brien uses the Stooges wagon to carry the gold out under the noses of the villains. Who would suspect those three idiots carting gold around, right? Pretty simple stuff and it only runs 56 minutes so it doesn't wear out its welcome. Yet it isn't particularly funny either. But if you like slapping, this is the slappingest movie ever. The Stooges slap each other, other men slap each other, and even women slap each other... and with all those Stooge sound effects included. Enjoy!
Great film suffers from not being seen often since it is very rare to find a video of it. I saw it at a film festival. Shemp and George do excellent jobs in this film which is both hilarious and very serious at the same time. An unusual work for the stooges definitely. See it if you have the chance!!!
