Plot edit

Upon awakening one auspicious morning, the Stooges find themselves joyously anticipating their impending nuptials. Following a hearty breakfast, they embark upon the task of tidying their abode, inadvertently wreaking havoc in the process.

Their attempts at reupholstering a Davenport sofa result in a series of mishaps, culminating in Moe being on the receiving end of several unfortunate incidents. Initially, Larry's endeavor to trim the upholstery leads to the unintended alteration of Moe's attire. Subsequently, their misguided attempt to expedite the process by employing a machine gun to dispense upholstery tacks backfires, quite literally, with Moe bearing the brunt of the mishap as he inadvertently becomes the target of the sharp projectiles, eliciting a colorful reaction.

Events unfold as the Stooges embark on their separate paths to marry their respective sweethearts, unbeknownst to them that they are all engaged to the same individual, Mabel. The ensuing revelation sparks a tumultuous altercation, resulting in Moe and Larry rendering each other unconscious. Meanwhile, Joe, having departed earlier, returns in the midst of the chaos and employs a clever ruse to subdue Mabel, ultimately administering a punitive measure involving the aforementioned tacks and rifle, followed by a comical spanking, as Mabel laments her predicament.

Production notes edit

Rusty Romeos is a remake of 1952's Corny Casanovas, using ample stock footage from the original. New footage was shot in two days on February 12–13, 1957.[1]

Director Jules White was known for including many violent jokes revolving around the buttocks. Many other Columbia directors felt this type of humor was crass, and often shied away from it. However, White felt this was the trademark of the Stooges' mayhem. Nothing was too crass or exaggerated to be taken seriously.[2]

When Larry is hitting Moe's head with a fireplace shovel, Shemp Howard's portrait can be seen in the background instead of Joe's. This was because Jules White opted not to reshoot this scene, hoping that audiences would focus on the fighting Moe and Larry instead of the portrait.[3]

Quotes edit

    • Larry: "The tacks won't come out!"
    • Joe: "They went in; they must be income tax."
