Kilts and the Three Stooges
This past weekend, I watched an old Three Stooges short (I think from 1941). The story line was that they were in Scotland and pretending to be Scots in order to get a job protecting an earl's property in a castle. I tried to look closely at the kilts. First the fly plaid was wrapped completely around their torsos. I was not sure if that was the norm back then. But, one thing that did stand out was that there were pleats entirely around the kilts themselves. Even earl's kilt was the same.
I know that the film was playing everything for laughs, and I did laugh, but I thought the studio would have gotten the kilt correct. Guess not.
It was still interesting to watch. Have a good week, everyone.

I remember "slap-stick" comedy. Bad kilts would add to the torture.

Part of the comedy was the three stooges could never get anything right. I am sure the writers made sure that everything about the kilts was wrong.

Downunder Kilt,
Thanks for the correct date. I am getting senile; I know I looked at that date several times to make sure I would not forget. But I did anyway.

Had a Stooge moment watching a recent episode of the "About A Boy" TV series…
American Will telling Very British Fiona that he's going to introduce her son to watching the Three Stooges….dialogue went something like:
Will: "You being British, you probably don't understand…the Stooges are these three guys who get involved in these really funny situations…."
Fiona: "Oh…we have a TV series just like that in the UK….it's called Last Of The Summer Wine."
As a big fan of the Stooges AND LOTSW, I loved it!
Best,
AA

Found this on YouTube - In typical "Three Stooges" fashion, a tasteful and culturally sensitive examination of life in Scotland in the mid-20th century! 
Hot Scots - 108

And as was fairly common for Three Stooges shorts, it was also re-edited and released as "Scotched in Scotland"

For the sake of general edification, the blonde in Hot Scots was played by Christine McIntyre, a frequent Three Stooges co-star in the day.
