Pies and Guys - reading lesson for the Three Stooges, once Moe turns his book right-side up

Pies and Guys

Pies and Guys (1958) starring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Joe Besser

Pies and Guys - the Three Stooges (Larry Fine, Moe Howard, Joe Besser)

Pies and Guys starring the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Joe Besser) is a shot by shot remake of Half-Wits Holiday (Moe, Larry, Curly). Which, in turn, was a remake of Hoi Polloi (Moe, Larry, Curly). The basic plot in all three remains the same. The Three Stooges are inept workers, who become the object of a bet between two professors on whether nature or nurture define a person. Professor Quackenbush (Milton Frome) tries to train the Stooges into becoming gentlemen. With the aid of his beautiful daughter Lulu (Greta Thyssen). A stressful process.

(looks at Joe’s bald head) Skin!” Eventually, Moe realizes that Joe is back, and the boys soon learn that Joe has lost all of his winnings to con artists. To add insult to injury, and IRS agent (played by Stooges regular Emil Sitka) appears at the door, demanding the government’s share of Joe’s winning — $5,900 — which they don’t have!Read More »Quiz Whizz
