Three Little Pigskins
Famous football players?? I think NOT!
Directed by Ray McCarey
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A frenetic slapstick comedy built entirely on mistaken identity and physical gags, where bumbling stooges impersonate famous football players and predictably fail.
The stooges are mistaken by a gangster for the "Three Horsemen of Boulder Dam", famous football players. Hired to play for his team, they blow the big game and get it in the end. Lucille Ball has a nice part as a gun moll.
