Outer Space Jitters

This film made me laugh, more then once too! Plus its an early Dan Blocker film before Bonanza! Emil Sitka has a role on the Stooge's side instead of being against them like he seems to usually be. The film Pal Joey is plugged here and since its from the same studio, Columbia, and released the same year, this probably played as a short before it in the theaters. Joe Besser is really hated in Stooge land but hey, I'm a fan of his work on other shows like playing Stinky on the Abbott and Costello Show. A role that has been revived in the 1990s with TV's Frank character on Mystery Science Theater 3000. "I'll harm you!" So I get that Joe Besser didn't like getting slapped around when he joined the Stooges and to me that's a positive because the boys have to find other jokes and they do here. Besides Larry now took the brunt of the slaps and here gets hammered with Moe, among other playfulness. These Besser shorts are better then most of the Stooge feature length films, in my opinion. And unlike later Shemp films, the stories don't seem to be remakes of earlier Stooge films, I don't remember them going to a planet before this one! Also, they were still orientated to a general movie audience, not the kiddie show scripts with Curly Joe DeRita. I recommend it. Don't be a Stooge snob, or 'I'll harm you!
