"No Census, No Feeling" is a great Three Stooges short directed by Del Lord. Moe, Curly, and Larry are census takers who unwittingly stir up a heap of trouble in their efforts to canvass people.
Highlights: At the football match, Curly steals the ball and runs with it, followed by Moe and Larry on an ice cream wagon, pelting the pursuing football players with ice cream; the final shots of this film show the Stooges running out of the stadium and into the street, with the football mob still in hot pursuit! Curly unknowingly sprinkles some powdered alum in the punch bowl, causing all the bridge-playing party guests to pucker their lips and hence find it difficult to speak. Moe interviews a sleeping gentleman with a newspaper over his face, with Larry providing his voice; when Moe attacks the man, he realizes it's not Larry, and boy, does Moe get belted! I also love the opening gag in which the sleeping Stooges roll off of an awning, as well as Moe asking a gentleman if he's married or happy - CRASH!
I think any fan of the Three Stooges will love "No Census, No Feeling". It boasts a fine supporting cast as well, including Symona Boniface, Vernon Dent, John Tyrrell, and Bruce Bennett.
