Double Feature: 50th Anniversary! THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES, 1962, Sony Repertory, 89 min. Dir. Edward Bernds. Larry, Moe and Curly-Joe are druggists in Ithaca (New York), where pal Quinn Redeker has constructed a time machine - which promptly whisks them all back to Ithaca (Greece). From the BEN-HUR take-offs to the two-headed Cyclops to the droll ribbing of sporting events, this is one of their most consistently amusing features (and Larry’s favorite, despite being knocked unconscious during the chariot chase!), with another solid script by Elwood Ullman. [35mm]
THE OUTLAWS IS COMING, 1965, Sony Repertory, 88 min. Dir. Norman Maurer. After proving hopeless at a wildlife conservation magazine, Larry, Moe and Curly-Joe are sent out West to stop the slaughter of buffalo. But every notorious gunslinger in history is opposed to the Stooges’ activism, including Wild Bill Hickock, Jesse James and Wyatt Earp! Luckily, trigger-happy Annie Oakley doesn’t mind defending the bumbling trio from the dangers of the wild frontier. [35mm]
