Bedlam in Paradise

  • by

Bedlam in Paradise (1955) starring the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, Shemp), Philip van Zandt, Vernon Dent, originally released April 14, 1955

Bedlam in Paradise is a remake of Heavenly Daze. It’s one of the few remakes that’s superior to the original. The basic plot is the same: Shemp dreams that he’s died. Moe and Larry unwittingly having him swallow a mercury thermometer didn’t help! Not being fit for Heaven, he’s given a chance by “Uncle Mortimer” to return to Earth as a ghost and reform Moe and Larry. If he can do that, he’ll return to Heaven permanently.

Hold that Lion - Larry, Moe, Shemp and the lion

Hold That Lion

  • by

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.
