"Stone Age Romeos", directed by Jules White, is in my opinion an excellent Three Stooges short, one of the few in which the boys portray swindlers. A museum curator (played by the great Emil Sitka) promises to pay the shutterbug Stooges an enormous wad of money for creating documentary evidence that cavemen are still in existence.
"Stone Age Romeos" is an American live action short film from 1955, so this one is already over 60 years old and if you read the names White and Adler, then maybe you know already we have another Three Stooges short here. Even if this is far from their latest works, it is of course from the days when Shemp had taken over already and this was quite a while after Curly's death and sadly also not too far away from Dhemp's own untimely death.
It's hard to rate this short on its own terms because about half of it consists of footage from another short (as was common practice with the later Stooge shorts) -- namely "I'm A Monkey's Uncle" (1948). When this happens it's usually called a "remake", but this is more of a "recycle".
