Loose Loot

About This Movie

So, 'Loose Loot' from '53 is this wild little comedy featuring the stooges in their classic misadventures. The premise is pretty straightforward but executed with that delightful chaos typical of the era. You've got the whole inheritance angle, which is always a fun setup, but the real charm comes from the antics as they chase down the crooked executor, Icabob Slipp, through a theater. The pacing’s brisk, keeping you on your toes with slapstick humor. The performances are quintessentially Stooge, with that great physical comedy that feels both timeless and completely of its time, capturing the essence of early 50s cinema. It’s a fascinating mix of pratfalls and plot twists that keeps you engaged.

'Loose Loot' is a bit of a rarity among stooge films, not as commonly found as some of their other titles, which makes it a nice find for collectors. The film has seen a few releases over the years, but it's the earlier formats, like VHS, that seem to pique the most interest. As a comedy from the early '50s, it captures that specific slapstick style, and fans of the genre appreciate the craftsmanship behind the physical comedy, which remains a highlight. Overall, it's an interesting piece for those delving into the stooges' filmography.
