Stooges in the Park
Often misunderstood, rarely celebrated, and occasionally openly derided, the Three Stooges (Larry Fine, Curly Howard, Moe Howard, and sometimes Shemp Howard) have been an occasional and sometimes controversial staple of Chicago Film Society’s programming since our modest beginnings in 2011. “Why are they so mean to each other?” asks the timid Midwesterner who has never had to live with a roommate or sibling. “Why are they so dumb?” asks the well-intentioned over thinker. “Why are they so bad at their jobs?” asks the craftsman who has never suffered the crippling pain of their own incompetence. You will have questions, too, but rest assured the Three Stooges are actually very kind, very smart, and very good at what they do. This family-friendly program of Three Stooges shorts will be accompanied by other inexplicable oddities from the Chicago Film Society film collection. Admission to this outdoor screening is free!
