My Episode Review on The Three Stooges: Rockin' Thru the Rockies · 1:06am Nov 24th, 2020
Greetings and salutations, my friends.
This is your top-of-the-line film, TV show, and episode reporter here with another review.
Today, for my 48th episode analysis, and the 6th installment of my "Thanksgiving Treat", I'm gonna give you guys my take of the Three Stooges's "Rockin' Thru the Rockies".
Here's the rundown of it:
In the late 1800s, the Three Stooges guide a group of performers called "Nell's Belles" across the frontier, particularly to help them get to San Francisco to open their next show. However, in the midst of indians threatening to scalp the Stooges and performers if they don't leave the territory they're camping in, the group accidentally lose their horses, forcing them to do all they can to survive and find another way off the indians' territory.
Can they find a way to get out of the forest before the indians return? Or are their gooses cooked?
It's been years since I last saw this short, but I remember watching it frequently and having the time of my life seeing it. Now, after watching the short recently in preparation for reviewing it, I'm proud to say that it's one of the Three Stooges's best works.
For instance, the direction by Jules White, and the story and screenplay by Clyde Bruckman, were fabulous!
Among the many things I've noted about "Rockin' Thru the Rockies" was that it contained some of the wittiest moments around, and the humor was hysterical enough to have one rolling on the ground with laughter. For me, the best moments were when the Stooges were trying to catch fish and Curly doing the "Give me the Ax" dance. Plus, the goal that the Stooges and "Nell's Belle's" had to survive and find a way out of the forest as fast as possible helped the story have a mission to intrigue audiences with, and there was some nicely-done dialogue here and there.
The performances of the cast, and the characters, were splendid as well. And I'm not gonna lie, Curly stole the show every chance he got and had all of the funniest moments. It definitely looked like Jules White cut Curly loose and let him improvise entirely, the results of it all being fantastic! Also, I was glad to see Moe and Larry having plenty to do throughout the short.
In conclusion, "Rockin' Thru the Rockies" was an absolute blast to watch, as well as one of the best collaborations between the Stooge trio and director Jules White.
So, I rate "Rockin' Thru the Rockies" five out of five stars.
I really love this episode too.
There was some dialogue between two Indians that I didn't understand until I was older.
Indian: Me like pretty-faced squaw. Like make 'em whoopie.
Indian Chief: You keep mind on business, make 'em whoopie later. (Looks at the ladies) Not bad.
I'm pretty positive that you know what it's referring to right?

They’re either saying they’d make the girls their brides or pillows, right?

Correct in a quite suggestive manner.
