IMDb profile

Snow White and The Three Stooges (1961) was the second feature film to star the Three Stooges after their 1959 resurgence in popularity. By this time, the trio consisted of Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Joe DeRita. Released by 20th Century Fox, Snow White and The Three Stooges was the trio's take on the classic fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The film was marketed with the tagline "Once Upon a Wonderful Time".

Olympic gold medalist figure skater Carol Heiss starred as Snow White, who must flee her home after her stepmother wishes her to be dead. Seeking refuge in the cottage of the seven dwarfs, she accidentally meets the Stooges, who are house sitting for them while they are away.

Unlike the other 1960s Stooge features with Joe DeRita, Snow White and The Three Stooges was the only one filmed in color, as well as the only one not made by Columbia Pictures. It also became the least popular. Critics did not take kindly to film, citing a lack of on-screen time for the trio. Even Moe Howard later commented that Snow White and The Three Stooges was the team's "technicolor mistake."
