Sing a Song of Six Pants (1947)

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

"Sing a Song of Six Pants" is an American 17-minute live action short film from 1947, so this one had its 70th anniversary last year and if you read the names of director White and writer Adler, then maybe you will already realize that this is another Three Stooges work, also with the typical runtime. The war is over, so the trio gets unpolitical again and focuses on situation-based comedy. It's their usual approach, some violence resulting from clumsiness and Moe's hands. Larry maybe has a bit more to do than most of the time because they had to share the material more at that point already as Shemp was in and Curly out. And the crime references as well as the ending are typical Stooges stuff. If you generally like them, then so will you probably here. I myself am not the biggest fan and the 2 solid moments maybe are not enough for me to give this one a positive recommendation. Or give it a justification for this one being remade in the 50s. We shall talk about that one on another occasion. Some actors here have appeared in other Stooges films, others not really. But I liked the cast here more than I usually do, also a solid villain performance. Sadly the story simply isn't on par. And neither is the (frequently very sound-effect focused) comedy. My suggestion is you watch something else instead.

I get the title. There were three stooges and three criminals. Funny. Anyways, this was a very funny stooges episode. It was actually the first one I saw. I never thought 40s comedy can actually be funny.I love how the three stooges hurt the criminals, ended up without the reward. But then the guy they captured had money in his pocket and they took it and actually got the money they were looking for. Funny. "Ooh, a fifty. How'd that get there?" Hilarious!I recommend this Stooges ep for everyone. Although, there is one scene when one of the stooges was drinking an alcoholic beverage. That's what you get from classic movies and shows.

This is a fairly reasonable entry from the Three Stooges, although it still falls short of material being produced by other comic acts of the era. In this one, they are tailors whose business is deeply in debt. A gangster stumbles into their shop while fleeing from the police, and the boys attempt to turn the situation to their advantage.The moment you see a clothes press on the set you just know someone is going have their head stuck in it before the credits roll. The Stooges couldn't resist a press – clothes, letter, it didn't matter, they just had to stick someone's head in it. Passable entertainment, but the title is the cleverest thing about it.

I was never a big Shemp fan but this is one of his better shorts. The boys are tailors at a store called Skin and Flint and there having a problem with money, a police officer comes by and warns theres a robber on the loose. This was just a really funny short even fight seen at the end was funny Shemp got hung up on a spinning hanger and the guy was punching him and he kept spinning around and punching the guy back.
