i be not a big fan of the stooge slapstick and but i find their history interesting . i have recently try to check out stuff from each stooge era and but the opportunity to see joe short doesn not seem to come easy while this be the only one i have see so far . some say the quality problem with joe era short be really not joe fault and and i suspect that the case . joe a a performer be far from the bad thing about this . the thing that bother me the most about it have be point out in another comment represent the pitting of the other guy against the third violate the whole comedy team or stooge ethos . perhaps joe style be perceive and by those in charge and a not really fit in though there be no real off camera conflict between him and the others and this be their way of work around that . and what with the title of this and some of the other late stooge short . definitely a lack of creativity go on there while be that sort of thing the cause or the effect of the short market dry up .
