Fun Stuff

Trivia:
In one scene, Christine McIntyre discovers that Shemp is not the "Cousin Basil" she thought he was, and slaps him around, then punches him and knocks him through the door. McIntyre, who was not a professional stuntwoman, leaned too far in when she "punched" Shemp, and actually did hit him, breaking his nose. The sequence was left in the picture. more

A really funny Shemp, 10 April 2006
Author: Stanley Strangelove from Portland, Oregon US

I've been a fan of the Three Stooges shorts since I was a kid and I've seen them all. The ones with Curly are usually the best but there are some with Shemp that are equally as good.

Brideless Groom is a Stooge short with Shemp, not Curly, but it is every bit as good as anything with Curly; and I love Curly, don't get me wrong.

The funniest scene has Shemp as a vocal teacher with a female student who is not only funny looking but has a terrible voice. Larry is a riot as the piano accompanist. I taped this segment and gave it to my singing teacher years ago and she was on the floor in hysterics. There is also a great scene in a phone booth with Shemp and Moe.

Five nyuks for this one.
