slymusic With Jules White taking the helm, "Up in Daisy's Penthouse" is a fairly entertaining Three Stooges comedy starring Moe, Larry, & Shemp. This short is a remake of an earlier Stooge short with Curly titled "3 Dumb Clucks" (1937), in which Curly poses as his father (also played by Curly) in order to prevent Pa from marrying a gold-digging blonde. The plot is the same in this remake, with Shemp obviously playing both roles this time around. His portrayal of Pa is just about as funny as Shemp himself.Highlights: At the end, the two mobsters (John Merton and Jack Kenny) loosen up the flagpole onto which the frightened Stooges cling. (During this scene, one can actually briefly see Curly and hear a few "woo woos" from him in the stock footage from "3 Dumb Clucks.") While the Stooges sleep, Larry and Shemp snore into Moe's face, but Moe bops their heads and they get the message! Larry uses liquor as hair tonic. And some entertaining bits occur as Moe and Larry behave like children while trying on their father's clothes.As good as "Up in Daisy's Penthouse" is for the Stooges, I feel sorry for Shemp as he is forced to substitute for his father in marrying the gold digger (Connie Cezon). However, I think it stands to reason that Shemp wouldn't have any trouble in obtaining suitable grounds for a divorce.

simeon_flake This is a remake of the 1937 short "3 Dumb Clucks" with Curly as 3rd man. Both versions I find to be extremely funny. One of my absolute favorite scenes is when Moe is preparing his "Ena-frapini" and Larry starts dousing his hair with liquor, while Shemp is busy pocketing all the silver he can get his stick fingers on. "Put back dem muglets!" "I ain't got no muglets." Grade: A

crusefamily The only two shorts better than UP IN DAISY'S PENTHOUSE are HEAVENLY DAZE and INCOME TAX SAPPY. It's a remake of the Curly classic THREE DUMB CLUCKS. This short has great gags, but I refuse to give them away.***** out of 5 stars!
