Three Stooges: "Hoy Polloy" Hoy Polloy is an expression that comes from the Greek language and means literally the following: a large number of people, an accumulation of masses. In English, it has acquired a sarcastic and even negative coloring - the so-called working class, the lower stratum. Adjacent to the usual for Russian-speaking "choluem" or "plebs".
The short film is based on the play Show "Pygmalion", which in the 35th year did not have an official film adaptation (although to be quite meticulous just that year began to appear the first versions of variations in Europe, which did not have much excitement), so in a sense, Mo, Larry and Curley were pioneers and overtook Leslie Howard in this field. The idea of the short film was suggested by Mo's wife, for which (the idea) she was paid indemnity. The film was so successful that the trio reshaped the plot twice: Half-Wits Holiday in 1947 and Pies and Guys in 1958.
The movie turned out so cool. With a semantic load, with a set of bright gags, a good storyboard. I had previously watched about six short films of Stooges, so it was easier for me to get involved in what was happening, since I had already gotten used to the characters. Two venerable gentlemen from high society make a bet that one of them for ten thousand green will turn three vagabonds into natural dandies. Of course, these three vagabonds become three idiots, and it is clear that it will not be possible to pull off the plan in full.
Do you know how to spell cat?
- Of course.
- So say it!
- K-O-T-Ya. Cat!!
