THREE STOOGES GO AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAZE 1963 (MILL CREEK)

More great slapstick from the Stooges.

The great grandson of the original man who made a trip around the world in 80 days accepts a bet that he cannot duplicate the trip. He sets out to prove them wrong with the help of his servants, the Stooges and a young American woman they meet in India.

Jay Sheffield is Phileas Fogg III and Joan Freeman is Amelia Carter, the American woman. Together with the Stooges they are involved in many goofy adventures while traveling around the world. Curly Joe is challenged to a wrestling match with a Japanese Sumo champion and ends up winning the challenge because he becomes enraged when he hears the song "Pop Goes The Weasel" which Larry plays on the flute.

This is typical Stooge craziness and a lot of fun if you're a stooges fan. The rest of the cast includes Walter Burke, Richard Devon and Robert Kino. Mill Creek has released a set of six Stooges films, of which this is one, and I recommend it to any Stooges fan.
