Sexy Three Stooges

I was watching a Three Stooges film today, Matri-Phony. It's set back in the days of the Roman Empire. The emperor's name is Octopus Grabus, played by Stooge regular Vernon Dent.

Octopus has very bad eyesight. He has really thick, Coke bottle glasses. His love interest is a young lady named Diana, who, for reasons I can't think of right now, doesn't want to be with him. So Curly masquerades as Diana.

Curly is in women's clothes, and it's about time for Octopus to come in and romance him. Moe tells Curly to get "sexy." That seems pretty risque for the days of the Three Stooges. But there's a lot of boys kissing boys and dancing with each other in the Stooges' films. And of course the Stooges are frequently enamored with women of the opposite sex as well.

Octopus's glasses get broken and of course he doesn't recognize Curly as a big fat man instead of his curvaceous, beloved Diana.
