CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Konterr Brilliant and touching

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

johnstonjames i love this movie. true it is more of a Snow White flick more than a Stoogefest, but i like Snow White and fairy tales and i thought the Stoogies were really cute if not at their comic best. i'm not into the whole 'Sonja Henie' ice skating movie genre, but i thought Olympic skater Carol Heiss was graceful and a real treat to watch.i'm not sure this movie deserved the 1961 WGA award for best musical, but it is a lot better than most of it's scornful critics would have you believe.it also helps to like the Stoogies. as a little kid i was always sort of put off by the Stooges and kind of afraid of them. they always seemed so manic and sort of violent and dangerous. most of their antics, like eye poking and scalding their hands and so forth, left me more than a little disturbed. i even had a dream as a kid, i remember, where The Three Stooges were coming to get me. scary. as i matured (matter of opinion), i found their form of comedy low level and aimed at the lowest common denominator. i preferred the more eloquent and sophisticated humor of Chaplin or the Marx brothers. finally my brother, who always thought the Stooges were a riot, won out. i was watching the Stooges with him on DVD and i had to admit i thought they were pretty darn funny. i especially like the 'Orbit' one where they fly in a rocket over Disneyland in Anaheim.i'm not going to pretend that this movie requires brain work to watch it. but there is enough quality and wholesome charm in it that it won't kill any nerve tissue and leave you brain dead. this film was directed by the gentle and delicate director of 'The Bluebird', Water Lang. cinematically it's very sweet and softly colored.this is also a great film for kids and the whole family. there is no swearing or suggestive material, and, unfortunately, none of the Stooges trademark, scary violence. this is one of those wholesome delights that present clean living families with an alternative to all the jaded and suggestive material that plagues so many films in our culture today.also, if you are into that whole 'Skating with The Hasbeen Stars' thing, this was one of the first and best.

MARIO GAUCI Lavish if overlong version of the popular fairy-tale (most famously incarnated on screen via the 1937 Walt Disney animated milestone) which incorporates a skating star (whose numbers go on forever), the comic trio's brand of violent slapstick (replacing the Seven Dwarfs – though they feel constrained by the material, much like the Laurel & Hardy of THE BOHEMIAN GIRL [1936] and SWISS MISS [1938]) and saccharine songs; the familiar plot is further enlivened by an amiable ventriloquist act and numerous swashbuckling routines. It's colorful and pleasant – certainly more enjoyable than I had anticipated, and wholly undeserving of Leonard Maltin's unflattering BOMB rating – emerging, all in all, to be perfect unassuming entertainment for the festive season.Guy Rolfe and Patricia Medina convey appropriate comic-book villainy in their respective roles (each receive their just desserts in memorable fashion – but while his is particularly gruesome, hers is done in a rather clever way); burly Buddy Baer is their evil henchman who subsequently has a change of heart. Incidentally, this was the first of five belated feature films starring The Three Stooges – the others being the equally improbable THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES (1962), THE THREE STOOGES IN ORBIT (1962), THE THREE STOOGES GO AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAZE (1963) and THE OUTLAWS IS COMING (1965).Frank Tashlin is said to have contributed to the film under review but, at any rate, the producers involved did have their hearts in the right place by employing director Lang (whose last effort this proved be) – having been responsible for the splendid Shirley Temple fantasy vehicle THE BLUE BIRD (1940) – and screenwriter Noel Langley – who had co-scripted the classic MGM version of THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939). By the way, this viewing of SNOW WHITE AND THE THREE STOOGES came in anticipation of my acquiring a 2-Disc collection of the comic trio's vintage shorts...

psycobust http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vlcsnap1685933in8.jpg the link is a screen shot from the movie. The guy totally looks like the burger king. I think burger king owes this guy and the 3 stooges some money. The 3 stooges look old in this movie, they did it for a paycheck, thats all. I like when the kid hits his head on the rock, great acting, and when he grows up his tights are a little disturbing as well. The acting in the movie is horrible, the stooges are not at their comic best either. It was hard to get through this movie but you have to give a shout out to the burger king, its about a minute into the movie, it made my jaw drop.

moonspinner55 ...so what's a joker to make of such a product, rife as it is with warmed-over fairy tale baloney? Poor skater Carol Heiss looks positively in pain as Snow White, which may provide some unintentional comic relief from the sub-Disney nonsense on hand. As for the Three Stooges, they are wasted in what must be the three most unfunny comedic roles in kiddie film history. As an adult now, I guess I liked the torture chamber best (the burly woodsman whines like a little girl on the rack) which just goes to show what little else there is on display here. What a waste of celluloid, and what was Twentieth Century Fox thinking? *1/2 from ****
