The Heisters (1964)
10/10
A Very impressive short film from a 19 year old Hooper

This film is very much in style with The Three Stooges, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. It's very cartoony and full of slapstick.

I loved the scene where the guy was eating the gingerbread man and he was taking the actual bones of the gingerbread man out of his mouth, that was really clever. The pie fight dual and the giant pie was also very creative. The moment where one of the thieves smacks the other one in the face with the knight's hand and we cut to the man's feet as we see his teeth and his jawbone fall to the floor.

This is all very impressive and creative and it's hard to believe the man who made one of the most controversial horror films ever made directed this.
