Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox film Fifi Blows Her Top is a 1958 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Joe Besser). It is the 184th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.
Plot
The Stooges engage in nostalgic recollections of their romantic encounters during their service in Europe during the war. Following the conclusion of their reminiscences, they are astonished to learn that Joe's former paramour, Fifi, whom he had left behind in Paris, has taken up residence in the adjacent dwelling. However, complications arise as Fifi is now wedded to a malevolent, possessive, and unappreciative spouse.
In their characteristic manner, the Stooges inadvertently cause havoc, resulting in the ruination of Fifi's attire. A comedic mishap ensues when they attire her in pajamas, inadvertently prompting the arrival of her husband. Revealed to be a contemptible character, the husband's deplorable behavior prompts Fifi to rebuff him decisively upon overhearing his intentions to seek a new spouse. Subsequently, she reconciles with Joe, opting to return to his side.
