Heavenly Daze (1948) Reviews

Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Shemp Howard unleash their unique blend of comic chaos in this collection of three vintage Three Stooges short subjects. In Heavenly Daze, Shemp dies and meets his maker, who informs him that if he wants to get into heaven, he must first get con men Moe and Larry to clean up their act -- at the moment, they're selling a bogus fountain pen that they claim can write through whipped cream (and who wouldn't need a pen that can do that?). The Stooges are moving men in The Ghost Talks, and as they haul furniture out of an old house, they're shocked when a suit of armor comes to life. It seems that the spirit of its owner, Sir Tom, still walks, and would like a reunion with his old friend, the beauteous Lady Godiva. Hocus Pocus finds the Stooges falling under the spell of stage hypnotist the Great Svengarlic; he convinces them to do a high-wire routine from a 20-story building, but the boys are plenty startled when the spell is broken mid-way through their walk. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
