Punch Drunks (1934)
10/10
That start of something special
27 June 2020
One of their best, written by Moe, but credited to all three, this was the first filmed piece where they could finally show off their talents properly. This would set the foundation for all the shorts that followed.

Having gotten out from under Ted Healy, this was their second Columbia short, but after a musical, tnis was pure comedy gold. As if they believed, "if you want something done right, do it yourself," thus they wrote this masterpiece, which laid the blueprint for all that followed. Even a few Curly gags and sayings were used in this, and many more shorts. Larry had a rare opportunity to really show off and not just be Moe's punching bag. Odd was the opening musical titles which obviously pre-dated the Stooges regular theme.
