Slippery Silks (1936) - the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, Curly)
'Slippery Silks' is an early (1936) Three Stooges short film starring Moe, Larry and Curly, who demolish a fancy dress shop after they inherit it, with the very first pastry fight in a Three Stooges movie.In Slippery Silks, the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard) are inept carpenters, who inadvertently destroy an expensive antique box owned by the long-suffering Vernon Dent. Running away to avoid his rightful anger, the Stooges discover that they have inherited a very fancy dress shop. Deciding to put their experience to good use, the Three Stooges design a new line of dresses, based on furniture—a hilarious visual joke that’s displayed at their first fashion show, where they have pastries available for afterwards ... of course, Vernon Dent’s wife is one of the attendees, and the very first Three Stooges pastry fight erupts. A very funny Three Stooges short film, well worth watching.
