No Dough Boys

Arguably the best of The Three Stooges' otherwise lacklustre wartime efforts, this 2-reel comedy had the trio made up to resemble Japanese soldiers and then mistaken for the genuine article by Nazi brute Vernon Dent. Dent, whose contribution to the team's success is incalculable, managed once again to steal a scene or two strutting his not inconsiderable stuff. The working title of this short was even funnier than what producer-director Jules White finally settled on: "The New World Odor." It was released with the advertizing line: "You'll go Slap-Happy when the Stooges go Jap-Happy!"
