For film buffs, you would probably know this was Curly's last official short (though he did appear in a brief cameo in a short called hold that lion). True, it is still funny, but it is still sad to see Curly like this (while shooting the short, he had a stroke and most of his shots were filmed by a double). Not only because a great trio was split up, but because Shemp came in afterward. No offense to Shemp (really), but Shemp did for the Three stooges what Gus Van Sant did to Psycho. Still, all that aside, this is a funny short, and it is nice to see them. One last time. A

The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team!
This is one of My favorite Three Stooges shorts with Shemp! All Appearing in this short are Vernon Dent, Kenneth MacDonald, Emil Sitka, Heinie Conklin, Dudley Dickerson, Blackie Whiteford, and Curly Howard! This one is so hilarious! Shemp has a great performance here and in My opinion its one of his best. Culry has a great cameo! There is a similar one like this called Booty and the Beast and I strongly recommend both of these Three Stooges shorts!
