Here's a whole movie…The Outlaws is Coming! starring The Three Stooges and Adam West. I wasn't fond of most of the features that the Stooges made late in their career and I don't think, as some people insist, Joe DeRita was the problem. The problem in most was the films themselves as well as the Stooges' ages. This was the last feature they made and, I think, the best from that period.

It was written and directed by Norman Maurer, a clever gent I had the pleasure of working with a few times. Norman was a comic book writer and artist…the partner of another great comic book creator, Joe Kubert. Maurer at one point did the Three Stooges comic book and he married Moe's daughter and wound up managing the Stooges' careers.

He made The Outlaws is Coming! in 1965 and in the cast, you'll also find Emil Sitka, who turned up in almost everything the Stooges did in their later years. Also, you'll find Henry Gibson plus a whole bunch of folks who were hosting Three Stooges films on TV stations all over the country.

Give it a try when you have a spare hour and 29 minutes…
