Many Stooges fans will find Snow White and the Three Stooges painful going, while some might find it quite charming. The film was conceived as a vehicle for Carol Heiss, the 1960 Olympic figure skating champion, but it was obvious that her limited acting would not carry the classic plot very far. So the Three Stooges were substituted for the Seven Dwarfs, and Prince Charming (Edson Stroll) became their companion. The start and end of the film follow the Disney version fairly closely, with Patricia Medina providing the only real acting as the Wicked Queen, abetted by the reliable villainy of Guy Rolfe.
In fact, Snow White lost in the woods is almost a frame-by-frame copy of the Disney sequence, complete with a live tree out of the 1939 Wizard of Oz. This might grab some youngsters' attention by frightening them and some by amusing them, but the love sequences and the forgettable songs might bore them. The fight sequences are possibly too grisly for some children; Guy Rolfe dies by falling into a vat of boiling oil.
As a Three Stooges vehicle, it differs from their other films. Except for Curly Joe's spoonerisms, there is little humor in the dialogue, a bare minimum of slaps (without the reassuring comic sounds), and no eye pokes. (Moe was sensitive to parental complaints about their television shorts.) There is, however, a touching moment when they are mourning the supposed death of Snow White. And you do get to see them in color. --Frank Behrens

I understand this was going to be a Carol Heiss movie to show off her skating but she could not act or sing. So they got the three stooges out of storage and they got the top billing to bring in people. It could be they knew from the start she could not do it without a known start, so they probably wrote the the movie for her and came out with the three stooges, they would have been cheap also. Big stars cost too much.
It is a fun movie and I find the 3 stooges lots more fun than the ... Read More

I bought this movie because of faded memories from seeing this when I was a child. After seeing it again, I like it more now than my memories told me. The fact that it was done in CinemaScope color was a great touch, and the guys kept to the Snow White story line fairly close - with a few variations.
Without the usual antics that you would usually see in their short films, they actually showed that they could 'Act'. This is still my favorite Three Stooges product, by far. If you have young ... Read More

Fans of the Three Stooges may find themselves divided on whether or not they like this 1961 re-working of the fairy tale classic. Depending on the age group viewing, children might get bored during the long musical production numbers while waiting for the Stooges to return; die-hard Stooge fans might complain that the Stooges are taking a secondary role, providing much-needed comic relief for Olympic skater Carol Heiss & company; and others might find it a nice change of pace from all the Stooge's usual ...

I had forgotten how much I enjoy this movie. The download to my computer, though, is painfully slow. Not likely to rent online again.

This actually doesn't seem like a half-bad little film if one takes it as a children's fairytale and not a Three Stooges movie. It is interesting and pleasant enough, and sticks fairly well to the familiar Snow White story (with the obvious exception of the Seven Dwarves not being in it); I can definitely see it as being rather appealing to young children. And it is gorgeous to look at, being in Technicolor. However, even taking that into consideration, it doesn't exactly hold up as great top-notch entertainment ... Read More
