In Search of an Honest Man

So Long Mr. Chumps (1941) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Decent Three Stooges short has the boys working as street cleaners who come across some bonds. They decide to return them to their owner who gives them the job of trying to find an honest man. The boys are able to find an "honest man" but he's in jail on false charges so they must find a way to get arrested and get to him. SO LONG MR. CHUMPS isn't going to be mistaken as a Stooge masterpiece but there are enough small laughs to make it worth viewing for fans of the series. Some of the best jokes happen while the boys are trying to find that honest man and use a wallet with money to try and catch one. This leads to a couple funny moments including one where a dog turns out to be the only honest man they find. The stuff in the jail is pretty much the type of violent scenes you'd expect to see in a film like this. We get scenes where Curly gets knocked upside the head with a hammer and of course Moe puts his eyes out a few more times. The big breakout sequence contains a small number of laughs as well. If you've never seen a Three Stooges short before it would probably be best to start with one of their classics but if you've seen all the better known stuff then this one here isn't too bad.

Director: JULES WHITE. Screenplay: Felix Adler, Clyde Bruckman. Photography: Barney McGill. Film editor: Mel Thorsen. RCA Sound System. Producer: Jules White.

Copyright 13 February 1941 by Columbia Pictures Corporation. U.S. release: 7 February 1941. 2 reels. 1,579 feet. 17 minutes.

SYNOPSIS: The Stooges attempt to break an honest man out of jail.

NOTES: Number 53 of the 190 short subjects the Stooges made for Columbia.

Second last of 92 movies photographed by the great Barney McGill before his death at the early age of 51 on 11 January 1942.

COMMENT: The Stooges are not schoolteachers, as the title implies, but street cleaners. After fighting a losing battle with wonderfully litter-strewn streets, the boys are inveigled into setting a convict free. To do this, they have to get themselves thrown into jail first.

Plenty of fun in this one, with Curly in top form, assisted by a great support cast including Bruce Bennett in a very small but key part as a prison guard.
