Curiozități

The Outlaws Is Coming is the sixth and final theatrical comedy feature film starring The Three Stooges after their 1959 resurgence in popularity. By this time, the trio consisted of Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Joe DeRita. As with its predecessor, The Three Stooges Go Around the World in a Daze, the film was co-written, produced and directed by Howard's son-in-law Norman Maurer. The supporting cast features Adam West, Nancy Kovack and Emil Sitka, who plays three roles.

Production

Upon release of The Outlaws Is Coming, a number of English teachers expressed displeasure over the movie's grammatically incorrect title. The title is a satire of Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 film The Birds, which features the tagline "The Birds Is Coming".

The film satirizes many 1960s fads, films and television commercials as well as the Western genre. In a nod to television's key role in the resurgence of the Three Stooges' popularity, the outlaw characters were played by local television hosts from across the U.S. whose shows featured the old Three Stooges Columbia shorts.

Adam West spoke about his involvement with the film and with the Three Stooges:

The Outlaws Is Coming. What a wonderful experience! Our first meeting at the Columbia ranch, one morning quite early, and I went in to makeup and got on my western duds and came out in the street. And I saw Larry Fine sitting in a chair and I think his wife was yelling at him about something. Actually, the guys were very serious off camera, their demeanors.

I think the funniest little incident of the picture that I remember, the main thrust of the plot was that we were trying to save the buffalo and I was the young lawyer from Boston and we had the same interests and that's how we got together. So we spent the movie trying to save the buffalo.
