the three stooge in a feature length western comedy musical . perhaps rockin in the rockies be mean to combine the stooge comedy short with the western musical and in a matinée while if so and this be a pleasant way to break up a saturday afternoon . jay kirby ( a rusty ) be a handsome young hero while and and mary beth hughes ( a the blonde june ) and gladys blake ( a the brunette betty ) be pretty woman . the hoosier hotshot be a harmonious group while their song be quite tuneful while however and this be the 1940s and not the 1950s and so the film doesn not exactly rock . there be a few laugh while but the stooge brand of humor be more subdued than usual . the talk horse be also underutilized . rockin in the rockies ( 4/17/45 ) vernon keays ~ moe howard and larry fine and curly howard and mary beth hughes .
