Featuring Miscellaneous Appearances
45 min. (TV Special)
Martin Short hosts this ABC-TV tribute to the film legacy of The Three Stooges, featuring brief clips taken from more than half of the comedy team's Columbia short subjects and several of their feature films. Filmed at Glendale CA's Alex Theatre. Special guests include Barry Williams who performs The Stooges Bunch, a musical history of the Stooges sung to the tune of THE BRADY BUNCH theme, and Little Richard performing The Curly Shuffle.
The special also highlights Howard family home movies, with clips of Moe, Shemp, Jerry, Larry Fine, Helen Howard, Babe Howard, Elaine Ackerman Howard, Sol & Jennie Horwitz, Joan Howard and Mort Howard.
Little Richard performs The Curly Shuffle on a "Shemp & Sons" grand piano... actually, a Steinway with a "Shemp & Sons" prop plaque.
