i love the stooges.
they did a short filmed some time in mid 1942, after japanese bomp pearl harbor. The bit is called " the yolks on you." the premise has the stooges at a rural farm when inexplicably several menacing looking " japanese" spies show up. i must say that this was an amazing piece of racial fear mongering, even by pre-Civil Rights era " enlightenment" standards.
i scare quoted 'japanese' because obviously at that monent NO japanese performers would have been permitted. instead, some whites with probably american indian background were passed as " japanese" by contorting their faces and having their eyebrows glued upwards.
it's a fascinating stooges anomaly.
