Review of Plane Nuts

Plane Nuts (1933)
7/10
Plane Nuts is another interesting look at Ted Healy and His Stooges during their M-G-M stay
30 December 2010
All right, what I'm now reviewing is the fourth M-G-M short featuring Ted Healy and His Stooges (Moe, Larry, and Curly) with their usual female foil "Bonny" (Bonnie Bonnell). By the way, their third one-Hello Pop-is lost. Anyway, this is their vaudeville act transposed on film with hit-or-miss gags and punchlines but the energy is pretty infectious especially whenever Curly does some funny moves or a hilarious laugh. There's also a couple of musical numbers taken from another film that provide their own entertaining moments. Incidentally, some of the music sounds like the theme played on Leonard Maltin's "The Lost Stooges" VHS tape-of which excerpts of this short played-when that was released on the early '90s. In summary, no great shakes is Plane Nuts but this is still a very interesting look at the early careers of Howard, Fine, and Howard before their more iconic stint at the studio of the Torch Lady.,..
