Whenever you hear “Three Blind Mice” on television or at a movie theater the first thing that pops in your head are those three witty, slap-stick comedians “The Three Stooges.” They have been entertaining America since 1933 on the big screen and continue to amuse us even after their deaths.
Today, June 15th, Tampa Theatre kicked off their Classic Summer Movie Fest with 8 shorts from these wonderful slap stick comedians. It was a memorable afternoon as they graced the original screen their shorts first started out on. The shorts shown were Yes, We Have No Bonanza, Women Haters, Punch Drunks, Who Done It, Movie Maniacs, and Mummy’s Dummies. Almost all of the shorts shown were not common ones you see on TV. Women Haters is a classic Vaudeville type short that is true to the Stooges roots. The entire short is done in rhyme and, of course, included the slap-stick comedy only the Stooges can pull off for a fantastic short.
This show gets a 5 out of 5!
This event is truly spectacular, and I recommend everyone going to at least one of the Summer Movie Classics at Tampa Theatre. Stay tuned to The Expressionist for a current list of movies from the Tampa Theatre or go to their web site, www.tampatheatre.org
