Beer and Pretzels (1933) was one of the first one screen appearances of the Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curley Howard line-up. The "brains" behind the trio is Ted Healy. He bullies and punks out his "stooges" as he mack's on women. Curley is thin in his role as the central comic foil of the group. The trio hasn't fine honed their permanent characteristics of the lovable doofs that we have grown to love over the next eleven years.
