Guide Review - Snow White and the Three Stooges - Ice Skating Movie Review
Snow White and the Three Stooges was a way for Carol Heiss, the 1960 Olympic Figure Skating Champion, to make her movie debut. Instead of Seven Dwarfs, the Three Stooges come to Snow White's aid.
Snow White gets lost in the woods just like in Disney's Snow White. The fighting scenes will remind younger viewers of modern Star Wars movies.
The Three Stooges slapstick type humor might be difficult to understand today, but was understood in the early 1960s.
The ice skating scenes are enjoyable to watch. Olympic Champion, Carol Heiss, skates very fast and does jumps and spins in both directions. She performs a double axel and also sings.
