DVD Reviews of The Three Stooges - The Outlaws Is Coming
DVD Review: It wasn't half-bad
Summary: 4 Stars
I was actually surprised at how decent this movie turned out to be. Unlike almost all of the other DeRita features, this one seemed to actually have a half-decent script and a pretty good supporting cast (particularly Adam West, pre-Batman, and the always fantastic Emil Sitka in three different roles), in lieu of the embarrassing childish inane scripts plaguing their other features. While this certainly doesn't merit classic status or rank among their greatest, nor was it made when they were in their creative and physical prime, it's also pretty enjoyable for what it is. There may not have been a lot of funny scenes, but the strong plot makes up for that deficiency. I also liked the unique and creative opening credits, and though the Native Americans were portrayed somewhat stereotypically, at least the scenes with them here, in 1965, are head and shoulders above the racist and offensive way they were being depicted onscreen even like 20 years earlier. They even have one young Native American who has gotten an education at a university, isn't wearing the ceremonial clothes everyone else is, and actually takes one of the bad guys to task for talking to them like they can't understand proper English. That's probably about as enlightened and progressive as one could have hoped for in 1965. However, as good of a supporting cast and script as the movie had, there were some dated jokes, like the conversation about Colts being a spoof on a then-current commercial and a reference to Dr. Kildare. This aspect of the movie hasn't made it age well, just like most movies and tv shows with a lot of topical humor. Also interesting to note is that the outlaws are played by the hosts of Stooges tv programs (marketed of course towards children, their prime audience during this final stage of their career); one of them, Don Lamond, was Larry's son-in-law.
Also included as a bonus is the short 'Goofs and Saddles' (1937). It's halfway-decent, but since it's a Western, it has the typical slow pace and therefore just isn't very funny or interesting. However, it does pick up the pace somewhat in the second half, after they lose those ridiculous wigs and false moustaches (though it was interesting to see Curly with the wig, since it gives one an idea of what he might have looked like before he joined the group and had a full head of long wavy hair). Another downside to these Westerns, besides the slow dull pace and the fact that they were never believable as slow-witted cowboys, is how restrained Moe is. Where's all of the punishment he usually inflicts on his mates, or all of the insults and rebukes? He's just not mean enough in the Westerns!
I would actually recommend this to someone interested in their feature-length films, even though saying one of the DeRita films is above-average still isn't saying that much, considering what most of the rest of them were like. At least this one can be enjoyed by people over the age of ten, and combined with the stronger than usual script and supporting cast, it's one of their few features that can be enjoyed by those of us who aren't nostalgic aging Boomers.
