Shorts Containing Stooge Stand- Ins

<< < (4/4)

Hammond Eggar:
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the DeRita-era feature film, Snow White and the Three Stooges.  There's a scene in which we see "the boys" ice skating.  Of course, it's pretty obvious, especially to the trained eye, that it's actually three stand-ins.  I was reminded of this today at work.  I work part-time for Hollywood Video, and on occasion we run family-friendly films in the store.  Today I put on a VHS copy of Snow White and the Three Stooges.  One Friday evening, about a week ago, I ran a VHS copy of The Three Stooges Meet Hercules, as well.  :D

Hammond Eggar:
I just thought of another example.  The Joe Besser short, Hoofs and Goofs, features a stand-in for Moe.  As you may recall, Joe has a dream that their sister Birdie has died and is reincarnated as a horse.  At the very end of the short, he awakens to find that Birdie is still alive.  Birdie, of course, was portrayed by Moe.  As Birdie (Moe) leaves the kitchen and enters the living room, we see the backs of "Moe," Larry and Joe.  Of course, if you look closely, it's pretty obvious that it's not Moe, but actually a stand-in.
