Short Take

The most interesting this about THE THREE STOOGES IN ORBIT is that this is the most risqué, relatively speaking, the boys ever got. 1962 was the waning days of the production code, so they got away with things you wouldn’t see or hear in a 1940’s film. Examples – Emil Sitka accidentally throwing out a “What the Hell” when describing his machine. The boys, now older men, hesitantly watching an attractive young naked woman, covered in soap, taking a bubble bath. The machine knocking down a wall, revealing young girls in a shower. Larry’s immortal line, “Look out, you’ll knock him on his brass.” Finally, there is a bra landing from the sky on a general. The general then commands one of his men to put the bra back where it belongs.
