"Sing a Song of Sixpence" (1947, number 102) has the boys operating a tailor shop in which a criminal on the lam hides and poses as a tailor's dummy while they strip him down to make a sale. There is the usual series of gags with the cleaning and pressing equipment, including the ray of sunlight on a garment that is mistaken for a spot.
"All Gummed Up" (1947, number 103) will show up again almost in its entirety as "Bubble Trouble" in 1953. Here beautiful Christine McIntyre gets a chance to be really comic as she plays an old wife transformed into a young one, while Emil Sitka does a great turn as her inconsiderate, doddering husband. The mixing of the "youth potion" involves the usual Three Stooges doubletalk but done well in this context. The last fourth of this film should be compared with that of the remake, which is also available in the Columbia collection, titled "Listen, Judge." --Frank Behrens

Customer Reviews of Three Arabian Nuts
A trio of Three Stooges shorts with relatively happy endings I have started to notice that a lot of these Three Stooges shorts from the early 1950s begin with some sort of a sign. No deep meaning or insights into the practice, just an observation:
"Three Arabian Nuts" (1951) has the Stooges working in a warehouse when they are taking inventory (read "destroying") dishes. Then things get interesting as Shemp discovers a genie (who is dark-skinned and called "Amos") and the Stooges once again manage to encounter some killers. However, thanks to the genie, this short actually has what would qualify as a very happy ending for a Stooges short.
"Sing a Song of Sixp Pantse" (1947) is one of the earlier shorts with Shemp, and finds the boys as the proprietors of the Pip Boys clothing store (they do everything from tailoring and cleaning to pressing and alterations). After some dry-cleanign gags, the boy get a bill for overdue payment and Dame Fortune sends them Terry "Slippery Fingers" Hargan, a safe robbery for whom a large reward is offered. Hargan hides out in the shop, where he makes the mistake of posing as a mannequin. In taking care of the robber the Stooges almost blow the situation, but even without a genie things work out well for them once again. The bit with the money at the end is a good routine, but Shemp, who was never the master of physical comedy that Curly was, deserves mention for his encounter with the ironing board.
"All Gummed Up" (1947) finds the boys running the Cut Throat Drug Store and dealing with customers in their usual manner. But then their landlord, Mr. Flint (Emil Sitka) shows up and announces he is kicking them out to bring in a new market. Shemp decides to save the day by coming up with a new vitamin that will turn the landlord's wife into a young woman. Amazingly, enough, this works and the old lady turns into CHristine McIntyre, who was the Stooges' primary female foil during this period. This one is noteworthy for the double assault of slapping that Shemp takes from Moe and Larry when they try to get him to come clean about the youth vitamin.
"All Gummed Up" (1947, number 103) will show up again almost in its entirety as "Bubble Trouble" in 1953. Here beautiful Christine McIntyre gets a chance to be really comic as she plays an old wife transformed into a young one, while Emil Sitka does a great turn as her inconsiderate, doddering husband. The mixing of the "youth potion" involves the usual Three Stooges doubletalk but done well in this context. The last fourth of this film should be compared with that of the remake, which is also available in the Columbia collection, titled "Listen, Judge."
The relative happy endings are what stand out with these three shorts, along with the fact that Shemp plays a rather prominent role in each. Again, no classic episodes, but a solid collection of offerings from the Moe-Larry-Shemp era.
Great collection.
THREE ARABIAN NUTS (1951)- An excellent Three Stooges short. The best of these three. The Stooges seem to break more things than ever in this short. Vernon Dent is good in his role here. Moe does particularly well here. I recommend this.
SING A SONG OF SIX PANTS (1947)- Finally, this short is released by Columbia instead of other low-budget companies. The quality is far better than those cheap tapes that are extremely bad quality. This is a great short. A Stooge classic. This could be one of the more violent Stooge shorts, but I think it's okay.
ALL GUMMED UP (1947)- Great short. I've always particularly liked the end gag where gum is mistaken for marshmallows. The Stooges and Christine McIntrye all eat a cake with bubble gum on it. Soon, all four of them are blowing bubbles. I recommend this.
A great Three Stooges tape, well worth adding to your collection.
Classic Stooges
This is what I remember about Saturday mornings when I was a kid. Long live the stooges (Curly was the best)
