Squareheads of the Round Table

About This Movie

So, 'Squareheads of the Round Table' is this goofy little romp from 1948, featuring the Stooges at their slapstick best. The whole Arthurian setting adds a quirky twist, you know? It’s got that delightful mix of chaos and charm - the Stooges sneaking around in a castle, serenading a princess, and of course, getting caught. The pacing’s brisk, which keeps the laughs rolling, and the practical effects, though simple, are quite endearing. You can’t help but appreciate the earnestness of the performances, especially when they’re trying to navigate a medieval world that feels so out of their league. It's a distinct blend of humor that captures the absurdity of friendship and loyalty amidst the backdrop of knights and castles.

This film was released in a few different formats over the years, but finding it in good condition can be a bit of a hunt. There's a certain level of collector interest here, especially among Stooge fans and those who appreciate lesser-known comedies from the late '40s. The scarcity of original prints adds to its appeal, and it’s often discussed in niche circles for its unique take on the Arthurian legend through the lens of slapstick comedy.
