Directed by Jules White, "Sock-a-Bye Baby" is not a bad Three Stooges comedy. Curly, Moe, and Larry find an abandoned infant named Jimmy on their doorstep and immediately take a liking to him. Then they decide to fix a banquet for Jimmy, featuring the most inappropriate foods for a baby.
Highlights: While cutting a cloth, Larry stabs Moe in the posterior with the scissors. Jimmy giggles when he observes all three Stooges crying. Moe rhythmically pronounces all the foods the Stooges prepared for the baby while Curly dances. Moe gets an olive pit in his eye, and Jimmy laughs off-camera. During the lengthy chase scene, Moe extends his arm to signal a turn and grabs a laborer's bottle.
I'm sure there are parents out there who would detest watching the Three Stooges taking care of an infant. In the boys' defense, they truly WANTED to be good fathers, but they just didn't know how. Besides, the child was never harmed. It was actually Jimmy's MOTHER who started all the trouble!
