"In the Sweet Pie and Pie" is an American 17.5-minute short film from 1941, so this one is already over 75 years old. It is a black-and-white film and if you take a closer look at the people who made this (White, Bruckman), and also at the supporting cast who worked with the lead trio on several occasions, you will realize quickly that this is another Three Stooges short film, not one of their most known, not one of their least known I would. Like several other of their films this one has several connections to other Stooges works in terms of being a remake / being edited into. It is from the days of WWII and that means of course that Curly was still on board, but it is not one of the gang's political films. Early on it was a somewhat okay watch still with the three living the dream of the man on Owl Creek Bridge before the film moves on to greed, romance and most of all comedy stuff. Sadly the longer it goes, the weaker it becomes and the final pie fight sequence is really when the film hits rock-bottom. Truly forgettable stuff. A bit of a shame as before that I definitely planned on giving this one perhaps a higher rating, but the overall absurdity and strong and quick decrease in quality mean for me that I give the watch a thumbs-down here. Not recommended.
