Hi fellow Stooges lovers, I had a question about a Stooges short that has Shemp in it solo. I forget the title, but he was clearly in it as a army guy that burned Lou's hands with a hot pan full of donuts. I guess you could say that I was hooked to the stooges (and Shemp *swoons*) with that video alone. It also had math problems in it. But the title of the movie/short eludes me. You guys have any idea? Thanks

Welcome to the site, Faeriegirl.

I believe you are thinking of Abbott and Costello's "In The Navy".

UPDATE: I went to the home page and realized that today's Episode Pick just happens to be "In The Navy." Serendipity.

Pretty neat, but not as serendipidous as "You Nazty Spy" being randomly generated on Hitler's birthday!

Yup that's the one! Shemp was called Dizzy in that if I recall correctly! So funny and full of innocent fun (what we don;t get these days for that matter) Thanks

TV prints of the Besser Stooge shorts used to open with a scene from the upcoming short before the opening credits. Did the theatrical prints also open like that? Was this so a TV station could use the scene as a promo?

Rich Finegan · **Reply #905 on:** October 20, 2009, 01:03:34 AM

This was done with only a few of the Besser Stooges shorts, not all of them. I believe the extra scene was added at the beginnings before the titles to extend the running times of some of the shorter episodes, so they'd all be closer to the same running time, for the convenience of TV programmers. I don't believe they were shown theatrically that way.

The same thing was done to some of the shorter Blondie movies to bring each one to 75 minutes when King Features prepared those movies for TV in 1966.

Hi guys-

Sorry if my post seems out of place, but I wasn't sure if I could start a new thread / topic.. or how to navigate it-
Anyways, what I'm trying to find out is, did Curly ever give interviews (alone or with other stooges), 'out of character',
using his normal voice? I thought I'd read somewhere that he didn't give many interviews.

Thanks.

chad2411 · **Reply #907 on:** November 16, 2009, 05:26:18 PM

That has been discussed before.. To my knowledge, he did no interviews with his real voice.. Although there are some instances where he used his real voice in the shorts, but not many..

Hi!

I'm a newbie who's been a Stooge fan for quite a while.

I just found this website, and am glad I am able to join it.

I love the pictures everyone posted.

Filming Location:

Hi There...I watch alot of three stooges and I am very curious on how I can find out where filiming locations took place around the Los Angeles area. Los Angeles sure does look great in the 30's and 40's. On "Violent Curly", I was curious of the filming location where the ice cream truck stopped, and they brought our Curly to thaw him and also where the location of the gas station was in the beginning of the short. If any one knows, please let me know. Thank you.

Tony

All location shooting in VIOLENT IS THE WORD FOR CURLY was done on the Columbia backlot in Burbank. The gas station was a temporary set on a corner of the city park section of the backlot.

When I was about 6 my mother took me to a movie for the first time - would've been 1962, 1963 at latest.

As I recall, the first film was the three stooges.

They were tinkers, on a horse drawn cart, with lots of pots and pans on it.
Somehow they had found themselves in the middle of an Indian war.

Of course there were lots of arrows flying, but all that the stooges had to defend themselves with was the pots and pans, which they used both as shields, and to hurl at the Indians.

Being only 6, and having never seen a film before, I believed everything I saw. I knew that arrows can injure and kill, but pots and pans are too small to be proper shields or serious weapons, so I started crying so loudly in fright that my mother had to take me out

I have looked all through the list of films they made, and cannot see which one it must have been.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks :-)

That sounds like the 1937 short "Goofs and Saddles". Some scenes from it were also used in the 1954 "Pals and Gals".

kharisma · **Reply #913 on:** December 14, 2009, 03:48:16 PM

Hmmm ... a wagon with pots 'n' pans, yes, but that one is covered.

The wagon that I saw was open - just a cart, really - got the impression they were tinkers and the pots and pans were for selling, not just household effects.

Also, they were right in the middle of an Indian war, and there seem to be no Indians in Goofs and Saddles.

There were definitely Indians in the film I saw, and they were on a small open wagon with lots of pots and pans.

The Outlaws is Coming!

kharisma · **Reply #915 on:** December 14, 2009, 07:56:08 PM

The Outlaws is Coming was 1965

Mary Poppins - 1964
The Sound of Music - 1965

Whichever Stooges film I saw - it was before 1964 (Mary Poppins) 'cause by then I had some idea of what films were about.

I had lived in the country when I was little - we came to Brisbane at the beginning of 1962 and soon after we went to see some film - and the Three Stooges short was shown first.

IFleecem · **Reply #916 on:** December 15, 2009, 05:55:16 AM

Maybe "The Three Stooges Go Round The World In A Daze" and it was the time machine that they stood around as it spun, I have not seen this in a very long time but i seem to remember them dropping things off a they traveled back thru time. Maybe, Maybe not the one but no one else has mentioned it so far......

kharisma · **Reply #917 on:** December 15, 2009, 06:14:11 AM

The Three Stooges Go Around the World in a Daze
1963 - so in the right time period ...

but...

no American Indians that I could see in the description.

They were in the middle of Indians firing arrows

and the 3 stooges were on an open cart with only pots and pans to defend themselves - 'cos that's what frightened me

Are you positive it was a short and not a feature?

kharisma · **Reply #919 on:** December 15, 2009, 03:49:54 PM

I was only 6 and this was my first film ever, so I can't really tell you.

I guess I have assumed it was a short because since then I have only ever seen shorts.

I know that it was the practice in the 60's to show a short movie first (Three Stooges, Bugs Bunny, news reels, etc) then show the main film after a short interval.

I had no idea the thee stooges even made feature films until I found this site a few days ago.

All I can tell you is what I have already posted - all three stooges were on an open cart with lots of pots and pans in the middle of an Indian war.

locoboymakesgood · **Reply #920 on:** December 15, 2009, 05:46:06 PM

Perhaps you have 2 shorts mended in your mind as one? The only pots and pans gag I can recall is what everyone else has echoed - Goofs and Saddles. One short that comes to mind that has Indians is Rockin' Thru the Rockies..

You can see the Goofs and Saddles bit here:

[youtube=425,350]5tZAQQj8pdo[/youtube]

Now it's also possible you could have seen Stop! Look! and Laugh!, which featured Goofs and Saddles in a compilation.

That's my best guess.

Indians (without their pots & pans) are of course, also in "Back to the Woods" (1937).

kharisma · **Reply #922 on:** December 16, 2009, 08:24:55 AM

OK

Now that I've seen the video I guess that Goofs and Saddles may be the one.

There are plenty of pots and pans, and men on horseback.

Perhaps my memory converted men with guns into Indians with arrows.
Both can be deadly!

Thanks guys

I don't know why I never noticed this before, but I was watching WOMAN HATERS, & the Three Stooges were named Jim (Larry), Jackie (Curly - or as it says in the credits, Curley), and Tommy (Moe). I'm curious - Does anyone know where these names originated or if they were ever used anywhere else? Were there any last names shown in the script? I know it's the first short on their own after the break with Ted Healy; I'm guessing it's because the boys weren't really established until later (when they were consistently using their own names).

I have a couple different versions of the script, and in none are any last names given for the Stooges' characters. I believe those names Jim, Jackie and Tommy were just randomly chosen.
