Rockin' in the Rockies (1945)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Vernon Keays
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Encore)

Moe (or in this case Shorty), Larry and Curly end up at a dude ranch. However, the ranch hands are more interested in impressing a Broadway producer for their chance at stardom. This is an excuse for numerous musical interludes, the best being Spade Cooley, King of Western Swing. Other musical acts are less successful, such as the harmonica playing Cappy Barra Boys or the interminable antics of the Hoosier Hotshots. The Three Stooges comedy is pretty lame as well.
