Featured review
Crude, but interesting.
I am absolutely sure that as long as the earth exists no one will ever read this comment simply because maybe two people in the world today know about this film. Nevertheless, I will write a comment. "Knife of the Party" should be a very interesting short for anyone who is a fan of the Three Stooges. Why? Not just because Shemp Howard is in this short, but because in this short Shemp is the leader of his own set of Stooges, and he slaps them around the way Moe slapped him, Larry, and Curly around. Shemp was an original member of the Three Stooges beginning in 1925, but he quit in 1931 because of the abusive behavior of their straight-man leader Ted Healy. He was replaced by Curly, of course. Then, without Ted Healy, the original Three Stooges hit it big in 1934, the same year this short was made. Some people obviously realized that Shemp was once an original Stooge before they hit it big (Shemp appears as a Stooge in the wacky 1930 film "Soup to Nuts," alongside Ted Healy, Moe and Larry). So someone decided to have this ex-Stooge lead his own bunch of Stooges, which he does with a lot of energy in this short. Unfortunately, while Shemp has his usual colorful personality, the other Stooges are stiff and don't say anything. In addition, Shemp is better as the one who receives the slaps from Moe, instead of the one who gives the slaps. The production values here are crude, and the male and female leads in this short completely lack color, but it is interesting.
