"Restless Knights" is an early Three Stooges short directed by a man who made the boys follow the script: Charles Lamont. In the kingdom of Anesthesia, Prime Minister Boris (George Baxter) is plotting to kidnap Queen Anne (Geneva Mitchell) and take over the entire kingdom. Who else to the queen's rescue but Larry, Curly, and Moe?
Highlights: Some wonderfully majestic music is heard not only during the film's credits but also briefly during the queen's initial entrance and during the wrestling match between Moe & Curly. The Stooges' father (Walter Brennan) blesses them by giving them a triple slap. In the wine cellar, after successfully clubbing two villains, Moe & Larry accidentally club themselves, Curly, and the queen.
The Stooges' comic personalities were still developing while they made "Restless Knights," and with their next short - "Pop Goes the Easel" (1935) - Moe, Larry, and Curly would team up with a director who really helped shape them into, respectively, their boss/middleman/patsy Stooge personae. His name was Del Lord.
