Goofs and Saddles (1937)

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

In one of their funniest shorts Moe, Curly and Larry go west as three of the most intrepid scouts of the frontier respectively Wild Bill Hiccup, Buffalo Bilious, and Just Plain Bill. With the Indian Wars done, the cavalry under General Muster is turning its attention to cattle rustlers and the General sends the boys to deal with him.With quite a few laughs they do get the job done. Some wonderful bits as a jackass exposes the camouflage cover of three other jackasses. There's an interesting poker game and finally the Three Stooges with their backs to the wall improvise a Gatling gun to some very funny effects.Moe, Larry, and Curly are really at their top in Goofs And Saddles.

Goofs and Saddles (1937) *** (out of 4) Spoof of the Old West has The Three Stooges playing Wild Bill Hiccup, Buffalo Bilious and Just Plain Bill as the three are sent out to try and gather information on some cattle rustlers. This here is a pretty good short as it contains a nice amount of laughs as well as some funny physical stuff but I wouldn't necessarily call it a classic. The highlight would have to be a scene where the three dress themselves as trees so that they can spy on the enemy but they end up getting too close and one of the bad guys things he sees a rabbit jump into the bushes. Axe and gun play soon follow. Another nice sequence is a poker game where the Stooges start cheating without knowing the man they're playing with just killed three other men for doing the same thing. The nice shoot out at the end makes for an entertaining way to spend 20-minutes.

"Goofs and Saddles" is one of the best comedy Westerns the Stooges ever made. Sporting long hair at the beginning of this short, the boys are scouts for the U.S. Cavalry, bearing the names Buffalow Billious (Curly), Wild Bill Hicup (Moe), and Just Plain Bill (Larry). They are assigned by General Muster (Ted Lorch) to wipe out a notorious gang of cattle rustlers headed by Longhorn Pete (Stanley Blystone), and by the end of the short, they succeed as only the Stooges could.Highlights from "Goofs and Saddles" include the following (don't read any further until after you have seen this film). In response to their scout call, the Stooges jump out of a tree and make a hilarious crash. The boys don't get very far in their bush disguises, but Just Plain Bill has a little fun in preventing an outlaw from chopping up some of the boys' shrubbery for a fire. Posing as gamblers, the Stooges try to swindle Longhorn Pete by cheating in a poker game. Once Pete realizes that the Stooges are cavalry scouts, an exciting chase occurs as the boys make a run for it in a covered wagon.To sum up, "Goofs and Saddles" is a fun comedy Western with plenty of shoot-'em-up action & slapstick. Bravo not only to the Stooges but also to Stanley Blystone, who gives a terrific portrayal of Longhorn Pete, the most menacing cattle rustler of the Bad Lands. Blystone would continue to be a familiar Three Stooges foil for years to come.

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 is one of My favorite Three Stooges shorts with Curly! All Appearing in this short are Hank Bell, Stanley Blystone, Lew Davis, George Gray, Ethan Laidlaw, Eddie Laughton, Theodore Lorch, Sam Lufkin, Hank Mann, Joe Palma, and Cy Schindell! This one is so hilarious! Curly has a great performance here and in My opinion its one of his best. Look for Blystone's archive footage that is in this one in the 1954 Shemp classic Pals and Gals! I strongly recommend both of these Three Stooges shorts!
