Three Stooges short film Hold That Lion (1947) starring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard, Curly Howard

Many people remember Hold That Lion as the only short film where Curly appears along with Moe, Larry and Shemp.  Technically, this is true, as Curly has a short cameo appearance as a sleeping man on a train.  But I frankly remember it for the “fight scene” in the first half of the short film with Kenneth MacDonald.  It’s a very funny Three Stooges short film in its’ own right, and well worth watching.

Original movie poster for the Three Stooges short film, Musty Musketeers - Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard, Vernon Dent, Philp Van Zandt

Musty Musketeers

  • by

Musty Musketeers is a remake of the Three Stooges 1948 short film, Fiddlers Three, with a new beginning and ending.  The middle segments, with the Stooges needing to shoe their mule, Sue, and rescuing the princess, are identical.  The new material is funny enough to justify watching the short, unlike many of their remakes.
