All the World's a Stooge

1941 · 17 min

Fast, silly slapstick chaos that breezes by, all bonks and pies, easy to laugh at without thinking.

Directed by
Del Lord
Genres
Comedy
Overview
The stooges are window washers who lose their jobs after Moe impersonates the dentist in whose office they were cleaning. On the run, they are hired by a millionaire to pose as children. It seems the man's wife wants to adopt some refugees to impress her society friends. Moe is Johnny, Curly is Frankie and Larry is Mabel. Everything goes fairly well as the lady shows off the stooges to her friends, but they finally irritate her husband so much that he goes after them with an ax.
How it feels
Absurd, campy, light and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About
Class, deception, family, identity
Content
Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
