Tassels in the Air is the 30th short subject starring American slapstick comedy team Three Stooges. The trio made a total of 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959.
The film was directed by Charley Chase and written by Al Giebler and Elwood Ullman. The short co-stars prolific Hollywood extra Bess Flowers as 'Mrs. Smirch,' as well as Stooge regulars Bud Jamison (as 'Mr. Smirch'), Symona Boniface (as a guest at Mrs. Smirch's card party), and Vernon Dent (as a building superintendent).
Plot
The Stooges are inept janitors who stencil the wrong occupation names on the doors of their office building. As a result, their janitors' room is labelled as belonging to Omay, a famous interior decorator. Mrs. Smirch, who wants to hire Omay to redecorate her house, mistakes Moe for the real Omay. The Stooges agree to do the job and proceed to make a mess of Mrs. Smirch's house.
Notes
- Curly goes crazy whenever he sees tassels. The cure is to tickle his chin with a paintbrush.
- Many of the gags used in the table painting scene would be reused by Moe, Larry, and Shempin their unsold television pilot Jerks of All Trades, which, coincidentally, also featured Symona Boniface.
Quotes
- Moe: "That's pig Latin."
- Larry: "Sure, anybody can understand it. It's very simple."
- Curly: "Well I can't, and I'm simple."
- Moe: "My name is Moe. In pig Latin, that's Oh-may."
- Larry: "My name is Larry. Now, what's that in pig Latin?"
- Curly (guessing): "Oh-may?"
- Larry (annoyed): "It's Arry-lay."
- Moe: "Boy, are you um-day."
- Curly (excited): "Oh, you mean I'm um-day in pig language?"
- Moe: "You're um-day in any language."
- Moe: "Now I'll explain it so even you can understand it."
(Curly faces Moe, resting his head languidly on his hands. Moe slaps him.)
- Moe: "Moe--Omay. Larry--Arry-lay. Curly--"
- Curly: "Curly-cue!"
(Moe starts to chase Curly around the room.)
- Butler: "Gentlemen! You're not going to paint that table?"
- Curly: "Why soitenly!"
- Butler: "But you can't do that! It's a rare antique!"
- Moe: "What, that old thing?"
- Butler: "It once belonged to Louis XVI!"
- Larry: "Oh, secondhand, eh?"
