This silly little flic is nostalgic and really quite fun for me.Guy Rolfe always turns in a credible performance and Pat Medina is one good looking babe!
The Stooges are past their prime-but there is no denying their lovable iconic presence here anyway...their only color film alas;Edson & Heiss make a handsome couple.Heiss is particularly a lovely gal and somehow did not make the ranks of a Sonja Henie.Talented athletically,too.
When i was a teen,the songs and music frankly bored me,however today it possesses charm and a certain wholesomeness lacking in today's films:alas & Aleck.

I have always loved this film-not because of the Stooges. They are ok here, but the Fairy Tale, production values and performances of Carol Heiss (Snow White) and Patricia Medina (The Wicked Queen) come first. This was never intended to be a Three Stooges movie, but a showcase for the talented Ms. Heiss. She holds her own both on and off the ice, and it's a shame she didn't make more films. Still one of my favorites, and my large collection of memorabilia from it is still growing!.

I'm so glad to see this on dvd. I remember my mother taking me to the movie to see this when I was about 7 years old. I loved it then, and my children loved it later when they saw it. I'm going to pick this up just for old time sake and all the good memories I have.

If you have young children, pick this up! Its just as entertaining as any Disney Production IMHO.

I don't know, it's hard with Edson (my was he sexy!), because I'm so used to him in McHale's Navy.

According to my research he was a respectable singer, so he should've done his own singing.

My mother grew up watching Sonja Henie movies (her era), and I was conceived in December of 61...so sort of full circle.

The life story of Sonja Henie will be coming out on film sometime. She will be played by the 1994 Ladies Figure Skating Gold Medalist Oksana Baiul.
