Actually, Moe Howard, his brother Curly Howard and Larry Fine WERE giants among men...they were Jewish men that were the FIRST in America to stand up against Adolph Hitler publicly!


"You Nazty Spy!" hit the theaters in January 1940, nine months before Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator." It was a time when most of the Hollywood studios remained reluctant to address — dramatically or comedically — the Nazi state, its persecution of Jews and the war Germany had started in Europe in 1939.

The timidity of the studio heads was based on several factors — they didn't want to close down the European market for Hollywood films, and they were being pressured from conservatives and isolationists in Congress who opposed U.S. involvement in the European war and were concerned about Hollywood making "propaganda" films attacking the fascists.

But that didn't deter the Three Stooges and Columbia Pictures from making "You Nazty Spy!," written by Clyde Bruckman and Felix Adler and directed by Jules White. Historian Lynn Rapaport, writing in the San Diego Jewish Journal, points out that film shorts were not as closely regulated or censored as feature films, so perhaps the Stooges' efforts were unnoticed or ignored.

In 1934, spearheaded by William Harrison Hays, the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America created a production code (PCA) that imposed sharp restrictions on how movies treated a wide range of subjects.

The Three Stooges were anti-heroes, flaunting their Jewishness at a time when assimilation and ethnic self-denial were integral to the American film industry. Using comedy form the Stooges shatter the image of Hitler and the Nazis. Moe’s lampooning of Hitler is mindful of a Purim masquerade, when we dress up as Haman only so that we can hiss at his name.

All of the Stooges’ families had fled anti-Semitic persecution in Europe in the late 1800s, and in a small way the two-reelers helped bring the Nazi threat to the forefront of moviegoers’ attention. While the Jewish immigrants who founded the motion picture business were reticent to critique Nazi Germany on film, the Stooges wore their Jewishness unselfconsciously, and maligned the man who was exterminating their people back in Europe. So who had the last laugh? Columbia Studios, which made money on the popular shorts.

William Harrison Hays was the namesake of the Hays Code for censorship of American films, chairman of the Republican National Committee (1918–1921) and U.S. Postmaster General from 1921 to 1922.

The Hays code discouraged or prohibited many types of political and satirical messages in films, requiring that the history and prominent people of other countries must be portrayed "fairly"; but short subjects may have been subject to less attention than feature films.

This is funny and all that, but one wonders, why isn't it in the flame thread? It's hardly a political commentary. At least, not a real one.
