Good start, but then it gets ruined

Absolutely Fantastic

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The boys are part of the cavalry and find themselves sent off to put down some rustlers. Of course, they are considered and elite fighting force. They bumble their way along until they are in danger. Of course they seem to come out on top not matter what happens. There is a great battle scene at the end. Much more creative and imaginative than most of these.

This is an almost 80-year-old 17-minute short film featuring Curly, Larry and Moe, the 3 most famous Stooges. However, here they are actually credited with other names, namely the names of their Buffalo Bill references Wild West characters, which is not too common for their films. The Stooges were all in their 30s when this was made and already pretty big stars. It's also obvious that Curly is the star at this point from the trio as he has basically all the really funny scenes. The director is Del Lord and the writer is Felix Adler. These two worked with the Stooges on uncountable occasions. It's a black-and-white film, like most of the Stooges' works and shows us how the trio runs into a gang of crooks in the Wild West. Lots of shooting going on, but as the Stooges are entirely comedy, nobody gets hurt. The funniest scene was maybe the card game, but the rest did not do too much for me and even if this is one of the Stooges' more famous film, I found it disappointing all in all. Not recommended.

Yikes, that subject headline quote what Three Stooges are told in this old TTS short. Imagine, if that was real life; there would still be no life west of the Mississippi!In this Old West short, the Stooges play "Buffalo Bilous" (Curly), "Wild Bill Hiccup" (Moe) and "Just Plain Bill" (that's Larry for you, always in the middle between the lovable Curly and mean Moe.) Their mission is to get every last cattle rustler and either kill him or bring him in. The rustling has to end! Giving them the orders is "General Muster." Yeah, the writers of the Stooges short films sure loved to be corny went it came to names of people, cities, businesses, you name it.The main foes for the good-guy cowboys are a group led by "Longhorn Pete (Stanley Blystone) who is one, tough hombre and won't take any baloney from the Buffalo Bilous and his partners.Some of the things in here classic Three Stooges and guaranteed to have you laughing out loud. A few of the gags I really liked were when the guys pretended to be big bushes, the p.s. on the note to Gen. Muster written by the guys,and about everything involving Curly, from a donkey chewing his butt, to his vest, to his reactions to people at the bar, on and on. He was a hoot, as usual.

"Goofs and Saddles" is one of the best comedy Westerns the Stooges ever made. Sporting long hair at the beginning of this short, the boys are scouts for the U.S. Cavalry, bearing the names Buffalow Billious (Curly), Wild Bill Hicup (Moe), and Just Plain Bill (Larry). They are assigned by General Muster (Ted Lorch) to wipe out a notorious gang of cattle rustlers headed by Longhorn Pete (Stanley Blystone), and by the end of the short, they succeed as only the Stooges could.Highlights from "Goofs and Saddles" include the following (don't read any further until after you have seen this film). In response to their scout call, the Stooges jump out of a tree and make a hilarious crash. The boys don't get very far in their bush disguises, but Just Plain Bill has a little fun in preventing an outlaw from chopping up some of the boys' shrubbery for a fire. Posing as gamblers, the Stooges try to swindle Longhorn Pete by cheating in a poker game. Once Pete realizes that the Stooges are cavalry scouts, an exciting chase occurs as the boys make a run for it in a covered wagon.To sum up, "Goofs and Saddles" is a fun comedy Western with plenty of shoot-'em-up action & slapstick. Bravo not only to the Stooges but also to Stanley Blystone, who gives a terrific portrayal of Longhorn Pete, the most menacing cattle rustler of the Bad Lands. Blystone would continue to be a familiar Three Stooges foil for years to come.
