No Census, No Feeling

About This Movie

So, 'No Census, No Feeling' is a pretty typical Three Stooges romp from 1940, you know? The boys get tangled up in the madness of census taking, which leads them to this upscale mansion. The humor's really physical, especially with Curly adding Alum to the lemonade – a classic bit that creates chaos when everyone drinks it. It’s really about how their antics disrupt the genteel setting, and there's a certain charm in the way the Stooges handle sophisticated characters. The pacing kind of bounces between slapstick and those quieter moments where the boys get lost in their own cluelessness, creating a nice rhythm. Plus, the practical effects of the shrunken clothes are just a nice touch. It's a solid example of their style.

This film is part of the classic Stooges lineup that enthusiasts often seek out, especially since it showcases their unique blend of physical comedy and mischief. It's relatively easy to find on standard formats, but collectors pay attention to the original theatrical releases and any special screenings that pop up. The scarcity of certain prints has sparked interest, making even this title a subject of discussion among dedicated collectors who appreciate the nuances of each short.
