Topic: Stooge connections to other Columbia films

[falsealarms]

Most Stooges fans know sets from their shorts were sometimes used in other productions. It's always interesting when you can draw parallels from Stooge shorts to other Columbia films.
While watching part of Columbia's IT HAPPENED IN HOLLYWOOD (1937), the bank set seemed all too familiar.

It appears to be the same set used in CASH AND CARRY, released the same year. In fact, the two films were released mere days apart in September 1937.

The "teller" sign is an exact match as is the "x" design seen in these photos.

See for yourself:







While watching ADVENTURES IN SAHARA, a 1938 Columbia film with Lorna Gray, some clothing seemed too familiar with WEE WEE MONSIEUR, released the same year. The "hats" the Stooges are wearing appear to be the same garb used in ADVENTURES IN SAHARA, right down to the little buttons on the sides. Bud Jamison's uniform appears to be the same too, even down to the three buttons on the wrist area.

Great thread, False.  Don’t have much time to post now, but one that instantly comes to mind is the train set in WOMAN HATERS being the same as TWENTIETH CENTURY, both 1934.

Not necessarily related to film sets, but I figure this also fits in this category. I’ve been reading Keith Scott’s excellent 2 volume “Cartoon Voices of the Golden Age” and he points out that Columbia’s Screen Gems animation studio occasionally used Curly recordings from the Stooges’ shorts for their own cartoons. Here’s MAN OF TIN, which uses Curly’s “woo woos” for the wrestling opponent in the second half.
