#5 - HORSES' COLLARS (1935)

The stooges' fifth short has them playing detectives in the old west. Their assignment: retrieve a stolen ranch deed for a young gal named Nell. Double Deal Decker is the villain they must deal with. And he's one tough hombre. Little does he know the boys have a secret weapon - Curly. Whenever he sees a mouse, he goes completely insane, wreaking havoc with everyone in sight. The only thing that calms him during this state is to feed him cheese.

This is another great, early short and the second where Curly flips out due to hearing/seeing/smelling something. It's also the first of their many westerns. Features the famous line, "Moe! Larry! The Cheese!!!"

I thoroughly enjoy this one and certain bits always crack me up:

a) The painted eyes on Curly's eyelids to make it look like he's awake while actually resting.

b) The small brushes the stooges pull out while ordering drinks at the bar. (Later used to clean each other after they fall to the floor while downing shots).

c) When Curly's spazzing near the end, he turns upside down and we see sand/dirt quickly pour out of his pocket. :lol

"Sort of a toughy, eh?" ~ Curly to Decker

This is the quintessential Stooges short! Who hasn’t exclaimed “Moe, Larry, the cheese, the cheese!” Limburger, Cannaburge and Rogueford.


Hyden Zeke,,,,”What’s the matter with him?”
Larry,,,,”We forgot to tell you. Every time he sees a mouse, he goes crazy, he’s marked that way.”
Hyden Zeke,,,,”Why?”
Moe,,,,”Because his father was a rat!”


Did anyone else see Moe’s spoon flip into the glass? What a great shot! Oh yeah, the scene in the bar where the waiter delivers the tray of celery, Moe seasons the stick of celery before the waiter walks away with it?!?! Way too funny, I crack up every time. What was that about???


Moe,,,,”Sometimes you’ve got brains.”
Curly,,,,”Thank you, thank you.”
Larry,,,,”Don’t let them go to your head!”


Oh, and the celery fight! The boys pummel themselves with celery sticks, pieces are flying everywhere! Oh my gosh that’s so funny, I’m laughing so hard out loud.

Thanks Lunkhead, I can’t even see the keyboard, laughing at that one! What a riot.

gotta love the cheese line- it was re-used in the Pinky and the Brain short "... and Larry" although Pinky used the Brain's name instead of Moe's.

One of those shorts in which the sum of its parts is greater than the whole. A little slow-paced compared to other output from their initial season. What's memorable (the dance hall scene, "Moe, Larry, the cheese!" etc) really stays with you, but doesn't add up to a really solid short. Seems a little too grim in places, without the cheerfully black humor which would come later w/the team. The time period of this short has always confused me: the opening scenes in the detective agency seem contemporary w/the film's production (i.e. 1934), but the Western scenes look like the Old West, i.e. 1880 or so.

Good point Bruck. I'd always assumed it starts out in a larger, eastern city, but the room does look pretty modern for the late 1800s. The picture in the first post shows buildings outside the window behind the stooges, making it appear as if they're in a skyscraper. A bit strange.

could be they just didn't care, or figured no one would notice. i know they never thought that the shorts would be repeated on tv and then available to view whenever anyone wanted to on home video.
my, how times have changed.

I noticed that too about the time reference. I guess that the stooges ask you to accept some premise about their shorts. Now you know it’s the “Wild West”, everyone is wearing spurs, riding horses, but the cowboy is using gasoline to clean his chaps from a safety can. The last short, Little Pigskins, ask you to accept the premise that the three stooges can be taken for actual football players.

Hey, did anyone see the cowboy seated at the table next to the wall flinch slightly from a ricochet during the celery fight?

Heyden Zeke,,,,"This case that you're about to go on is very dangerous, it requires courage, ingenuity, and above all, things intelligent, that's why I sent for you."

Did anyone noticed that the Decker’s score board changed from 117 back to 115 when the boys were ordering drinks? Wow, after all these years, I just noticed that, the stooges are a riot, aren't they?!

This is my favorite Curly western. I still wonder to this day how Larry and Moe could stay dangling in mid-air by their necks for so long.

I love all the toupee gags in the shorts. This short has the first of many-- Curly accidentally snagging a man's toupee while dancing and throwing it away. It lands on a man's beer mug just before he goes to take a drink!

Someone mentioned the celery fight. There was somewhat of a celery fight in "Woman Haters" as well. Mainly what I remember is Curly burping and Moe smacking him for it.

this is just as funny, and the new set lets you see various strings (when Moe and Larry are getting "hung" you can see the wires on their backs helping them out). this episode is referenced in the Pinky and The Brain episode "... And Larry" in which Pinky exclaims "Brain! Larry! Cheese!".
