The Three Stooges
Left on the doorstep of an orphanage run by nuns, three newborn knuckleheads grow up to be finger-poking, nyuk-nyuking janitors named Larry, Curly and Moe. When they learn that financial problems will soon force the only home they've ever known to close, the trio sets out to raise $830,000 in one month. Out in the world for the very first time, the three innocent bumblers become embroiled in a murder plot and find stardom on a TV reality show.
From the archive
"You Nazty Spy!" (1940) is one of the most famous Three Stooges shorts, notable as the first Hollywood film to openly satirize Adolf Hitler before the U.S. entered World War II. Moe plays the Hitler-like dictator of the fictional country of Moronica, with Larry and Curly as his bumbling sidekicks. Mixing sharp political parody with the Stooges’ trademark slapstick, it remains both a bold piece of satire and a hilarious classic. Colorized and digitally enhanced as God intended.
