Powerful

Absolutely the worst movie.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The first time I even knew about this one was when I saw it listed in the TV listings magazine of the Sunday Houston Chronicle when I was a kid in the late '70s, then read about it and saw pics from it in Moe Howard's autobiography, "Moe Howard and The Three Stooges" which was published after his passing in 1975. It was also included in "The Golden Turkey Awards" book and got a BOMB rating from Leonard Maltin in his "TV Movies" book. I know many Stooges fans do not like this one but I'm an exception. I loved all the fairy tale trappings, the singing, the skating (only Olympic gold medal winner Carol Heiss does her own thing on the ice, the others are pros taking place of the other players), and, of course, the Stooges' antics getting balanced with their more dramatic lines and scenes. It's also wonderful seeing them both in Deluxe color and CinemaScope. They (Well, at least two of them) were previously in the 2-strip Technicolor kind with Ted Healy in Nertsery Rhymes and would also be in color In The Three Stooges Scrapbook, their cartoon/live action series "The New 3 Stooges", a PSA short called Star Spangled Salesman, and their final film Kook's Tour. In summary, I had a real good time watching this on TV from YouTube. So on that note, I recommend Snow White and the Three Stooges to anyone who doesn't mind the boys being a bit subdued in their fairy tale trappings.

I saw this movie in the theater when I was a kid. I think I paid a quarter to see it. In doing research for a project on Snow White, I watched it again a couple of times, and the movie is actually a pretty good version of the story. I like the added dimension of the Prince's back story, the Stooges, while not playing their usual characters, are integrated nicely into the story, and even though Carol Heiss can't act or sing, she is a lovely dancer and skater. Patrica Medina is superb as the witch and it's a pretty enjoyable film.While you're at it, watch the Fairie Tale Theater version. Now having seen Elizabeth McGovern in Downton Abbey, she's a fledgling as Snow White, but nice in the role. Vanessa Redgrave is excellent as the queen, Vincent Price perfect as the man in the mirror. One of the elves is in the Bad Santa movies, and it's nice to see him in an earlier performance.

After the king of a far-off land dies, his second wife, the Evil Queen, locks up his beautiful daughter, Snow White, because she fears that Snow White will become more beautiful than her, and become Queen. A huntsman is then ordered to take her into the forest and cut out her heart as proof that she is dead. But the huntsman cannot bring himself to kill her, and orders her to run far into the forest and never come back. She eventually happens upon a small cottage. Also taking up residence in the cottage is a team of strolling players, the Three Stooges, in addition to Quatro, the ventriloquist. The team is borrowing the cottage from the Seven Dwarfs, who are off mining gold. Quatro and Snow White slowly start to fall in love; unfortunately, the Queen finds out about Snow White's whereabouts, and orders her men to search the kingdom and find her. It is revealed that Quatro is Prince Charming, who was ordered killed several years earlier, as he posed a threat to the Queen's reign. Quatro is kidnapped, and it's up to the Three Stooges to save the day and bring Snow White and the Prince back together.This film has been unfairly panned by critics over the years, which is a shame. It is a charming little film. True, the Stooges' trademark comedy is played down in this film. However, they do manage to sneak in a few funny moments (they ARE the Stooges, after all), and they prove themselves to be fine dramatic actors as well, such as when they find Snow White poisoned by the Queen. What makes this SNOW WHITE unique is that Snow White is played by Olympic ice skater Carol Heiss, whose skills are put on display in several lovely fantasy sequences. She is a pleasant fairy-tale heroine, and is fine in the role. Edson Stroll, as Prince Charming, is clearly having the time of his life and also turns in a fine performance. Patricia Medina and Guy Rolfe, as the Queen and her henchman, are fun to watch, as they chew up the scenery. The sets and costumes are quite lavish and add the appropriate fantasy to the film. Leon Shamroy provides excellent CinemaScope cinematography, which is put to good use in the skating scenes. The fight scenes are exciting, and surprisingly grisly (for 1961); Rolfe dies when he falls in a pot of hot oil, and Stroll almost dies when he is hit by an arrow. The songs help get the job done, and the script is co-written by Noel Langley, who helped bring THE WIZARD OF OZ to the screen. All in all, the film is not bad as some might think. Just give it a shot. Recommended for the whole family. 10/10.

Snow White and the Three Stooges is a very good film that has a good cast which includes Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Joe DeRita, Carol Heiss, Edson Stroll, Patricia Medina, Guy Rolfe, Michael David, Buddy Baer, Edgar Barrier, Peter Coe, Marie Blake, Mark Bailey, Bill Blackburn, and Mel Blanc! The acting by all of these actors is very good. The Stooges are once again great! The comedy is really good and some of it is surprising. The movie is filmed very good. The music is good. The film is quite interesting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and hilarious film. If you like The Three Stooges, the rest of the cast in the film, Comedy, Classic, Fantasy, Dramas, and interesting films then I strongly recommend you to see this film today!
