Sunday Funnies: Muscle up a Little Closer (1957)

 "Muscle up a Little Closer", the 2nd Three Stooges entry with Joe Besser (ex-The Abbott & Costello Show), has the boys with a cleaner look, a more gentlemanly appearance, which was suggested by Besser, arguably his greatest contribution to the team.

Anyway, the boys and their girlfriends all work at a factory. Joe, in fact, is engaged, and trouble starts when the engagement ring is stolen. Moe seems to have pinpointed a suspect......


Unfortunately for Besser and the Stooges, Columbia still had some stock footage to use in additional shorts, so in due course, Moe was back to his bowl 'cut, and Larry's hair also reverted to its former state.

Rating: B.
