This is an almost 80-year-old short film featuring The Three Stooges. It is in black-and-white, which is not a given anymore in 1936, and runs for roughly 16 minutes just like pretty much all their short films do. "Disorder in the Court" is possibly the most famous Stooges film, also because it features the 3 most liked Stooges (no offense to Shemp, I like him): Larry, Curly and Moe, the two latter ones being brothers. Still I have to say that this one here does not even come close to being my favorite from the very very long Stooges filmography. Not even close. The director here is Jack White and he worked a lot with the Stooges just like writer Felix Adler.
The trio are witnesses in a murder trial at court and it all becomes very chaotic the moment the enter the courtroom and Curly takes the stand. There is lots of slapstick in here, many jokes on word-plays and also some violence here and there, actually a lot given we see people constantly poked in the eyes, hit with hammers and even shot on one occasions. But it's all harmless and nobody ever gets hurt in these Stooges movies. I personally did not find the humor too brilliant in this one here and that's why I cannot recommend it. Maybe I will review further Stooges films in the future. Keep an eye out for those that I prefer over "Disorder in the Court".
