The misadventures of Stooges at old Greek with a scrap-time machine!!
30 June 2023
Whom it may concern in my youth time didn't have a single day without watch a Stooges shorts on those lazy afternoons with a crowded room at my grandfather's house, the feature film of my early heroes I had just saw in 1977 when Curly and Shemp already were gone, this new format somehow displeased in some way due it was to long instead the shorts that were a best conceived patten for a quickly story focusing in a specific point shortly, it may explains the lesser appreciated feature-length film aside the absence of the originals Stooges as Curly and Shemp.

On those feature films the producers put the Stooges in dire straits as traveling to Venus, Struggling with Martians aliens, facing a quick gunslinger, a long voyage around the world and now a dangerous Time Machine backing in time at Greek around 800 B. C. meeting Hercules, Ulysses and the ancestor of his Boss Ralph Dimsal (George N. Neise) in Ithaca, New York state nowadays, ours friends working in a pharmacy next door at small workshop where a young scientist Schuyler Davis (Quinn K. Redener) has been developed a time machine, at first moment it wasn't finished yet.

However with a little help of the "Brainy" Stooges the time machine works out sending all then to old Greek where they landing in exactly moment of a battle of Ithaca's King Ulysses against the invader King Odius (George N. Neise on dual role) and Hercules (Samson Burke) fighting for King Odius's army, the sudden appears of the travelers, somehow aids King Odius win the battle, anyway they ends up help the opposite good King Ulysses that was imprisoned on the dungeon, perceiving the awful mistake the Stooges set free Ulysses, under such betrayal King Odius sent the Stooges and the faltering Schuyler to serve the galleys as slaves, they must overcame this dreadful destiny to returns and try save the Diane (Vicki Trickett) from the hands of King Odius that intents wedding her under duress.

Silly comedy with a cluttered screenplay, doesn't get fire properly, the same weary jokes on physical Stooges's way, nothing fresh on already aged heroes, therefore has some laughs when Larry says on the arrival at Ithaca battle, "Explain to them that we're Americans" which Moe replayed "Idiot in this time America didn't exist yet" then Larry replicates "I'm not born yet neither" what a smart line!!

Thanks for reading.
