Carol Heiss, Larry Fine, Joe DeRita

Olympic figure skating champion Carol Heiss stars as Snow White, and the Three Stooges supply their legendary comic antics in this amusingly absurd rendition of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale. ...( read more  read more... )In this retelling, Snow White lives in the kingdom of Fortunia and is betrothed to handsome Prince Charming (Edson Stroll) in the nearby kingdom of Bravuria. When the princess's father dies, her evil stepmother takes steps to ensure that Snow White never gains the throne. But the local executioner assigned the task of offing the princess allows her to escape into the forest, where she encounters Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Joe DeRita), who are house-sitting for the Seven Dwarves while the Dwarves are off mining. The film sticks within the broad strokes of the much-beloved tale while interposing novel items such as Heiss' figure skating and the adoption of Prince Charming by the Stooges. Director Walter Lang, most well-known for his lavish Hollywood musicals such as THE KING AND I and TIN PAN ALLEY, brings his successful career to a close on a note as distinctive as the report of a whoopee cushion with this humorously slapstick-addled fantasy.

    Weakest of the 3 Stooges feature films.
  • September 10, 2009
    It's certainly not the Three Stooges at their best, but it sure is an interesting curio. A ventriloquist, gold medal winning figure skater and the Stooges all in the Snow White setting. The production values are quite good.

    The only movie with the 3 stooges that I like
  • March 27, 2008
    I love the three stooges but this wasn't stooge comedy. They play mainly straight roles with little stooge humor and are not on screen all that much. I was very dissapointed with this movie.
