A little intro if the readers may allow me, the Stooges were in my infancy my first heroes ever, in those shorts at noon as schedule at TV with my fellows mates, henceforth I used to watch all them full length feature like this whereof the best from my beloved troublemakers.
Quite sure The Three Stooges go Around the World in a Daze was the best production at its time at least for me for the writers had allowed an average screenplay, instead in the others that were lame and fuzzy, this turn a presentable classic story of which in advance the producers put their apologizes to make a joke with so prized novel, ours friends work at England as loyal servants of so upstanding member of British aristocracy Phileas Fogg III (Jay Sheffield) that is challenge for a journey around the world in 80 days without spending a penny as his ancestor did, it actually is the defiant set up to Phileas leaving the bank with a previous stolen money without noticed.
They start the long journey hidden in a Cargo vessel toward Istambul, at this time the Scotland Yard is aware of the robbery and is there to arrest Phileas along with the crooks that intent to kill him aiming for erase any hint that leads them to, thus enters the wiseacres Stooges with more lucky than sense, the next stop at India where as stowaways on train stumble with an American tourist girl Amelia Carter (Joan Freeman) reaching in a palace of a scoundrel Maharajah that wills for take the gorgeous girl to add his vast harem, once more the Stooges save the day on a show of flying knifes among singing clarinet that Curly Joe becomes furious to listen certain tune, they headed to China imprisoned previously in the border.
Arriving there the Stooges undergo a brainwashed by Chinese, pure nonsense instead the Chinese are brainwashed becomes in a instant Stooges themselves, they are spelled from there in a little boat that adrift for a while, they reach at Japan so awaited arrival at Tokyo, there a fight with a strong Japanese is settle to in San Francisco a final match will be on those gimmick singing clarinet, after that they planned go straight to New York and at last crossing the sea to reaching in time in London, right? Absolutely not they wrongly headed to Canada spending a precious time and the high stakes, well not so fast, the destiny will be seal their luck until there, at last something palatable to Stooges exposes their standard physical comedy!!
Thanks for reading.
