"Yes, We Have No Bonanza" is one of the final quotes of Curly in this 1939 short film starring the Three Stooges and the film itself was named after said quote. It is over 75 years old already and came out the very year World War II started. The film runs for 16 minutes and is in black-and-white which is approximately true for the majority of Stooges short movies. Here they are in the Wild West and the title of my review refers to the very first scene, in which we see the Stooges with thick mustaches. Other than that, the story is pretty generic and similar to other Sttoges short films. The trio is working honestly to get money, but they run into a bunch of crooks and their hidden treasure. But luck is not on our heroes' side for long. The only thing missing here really are the love interests for the Stooges. This film is actually a remake of a completely unknown Jules White movie from five years earlier. And the jokes and slapstick humor in here are nothing new either. It's exactly what you see in every other Stooges film. I myself am not a huge fan of the trio, but that's just subjective. If you like other works from them, you will probably like this one too as it is one of their more known works (also because of Curly still being in here) and has a pretty decent rating here on IMDb, which is way too high for my taste. Oh yeah and people loves animals on screen back then, so a little dog can be seen occasionally too. I give it a thumbs-down though. Not recommended.
