    Oh yeah right, I should’ve been more clear.

    BUT we do know that was White’s first reaction.
    AND the actors should’ve been freed up to ride to the hospital
    if they chose. I guess they chose to finish the scene first then drive.

    It's creepy and sad, but it's no different from what the Columbia shorts department was doing every day by that point. The majority of the Stooge shorts by the mid-1950s were remakes with just a couple minutes of new footage. If a cast member was dead or unavailable. they'd use a double. Of course it's different when it's one of the three stars of the film, but not "that" different given that the majority of the run time was old footage anyway. They are pointless now, but at the time it was the only way they could continue the series within the budgets allotted them.

    Had Shemp not died when he did, there would have been no "fake Shemp" (but there still would have been "fake Christine McIntyres," "fake Vernon Dents" and others) and maybe one or two of the 1956 Stooge shorts might have been complete originals. Maybe.

    Fake Shemp Joe Palma later became Jack Lemmon's personal assistant. He has a tiny role in the Odd Couple movie as the butcher that Felix is buying ground beef from.

    That's the one song I remember when I saw them open for REM in the 80's. Way better than the Curly Shuffle. :hide:

    In kindergarten I walked up to a classmate and said "pick two", he picked them, and I poked them in his eyes. Hey, I'd seen Moe do it, I didn't know you could hurt someone that way. He made an awful noise, it was worse than when you accidentally step on the cat's tail. After that incident I was shunned by some as a violent bully.

    A year later, when we were all six, that same kid had some kind of neurological problem. There was a picture of him in the newspaper, in hospital, with his head shaved and a dozen or so electrodes taped to his head. I thought it was my fault.

    Officer Joe Bolton told me not to do what The Stooges did. :)

    I'm sure Captain Kark did too, but I never paid any attention.

    I wonder if Shemp had lived to the end of the Stooges' Columbia shorts contract, would they have still done the same shorts they ultimately made with Joe Besser, only with Shemp. And would Besser have made more solo shorts -- IIRC of his ten solo Columbia shorts, the last four are stock footage remakes of the first four.

    Yes, but there would have been fewer threats about pinching.

    I just found this on another website and agree wholeheartedly:

    Moe = Stephen Stills
    Larry = Graham Nash
    Curly = David Crosby
    Shemp = Neil Young

    Why Curly Joe instead of Joe?

    Because Curly Joe was around longer than Joe.

    I think.

    I mean, it's just a gag!

    Here's a web article I wrote three year's ago about my favorite Curly films. BTW, I saw a book eight years ago that showed locations in southern California where some
    scenes from the Stooges shorts were filmed. I can't remember the book's name, but it looked pretty good and detailed.

    One interesting thing about the Joe Besser Stooge shorts is the decrease in slaps, eye-pokes, head bonks, and other forms of comic mayhem dished out by Moe. And it was not like the mayhem was already declining in the Shemp era. Violence was at normal levels through the last Shemp short and decreased to about 25% in the 1st Joe short where it more or less stayed.
    Another interesting thing about the Joe shorts is that in some of them Moe and Larry are not sporting their Stooge hairdos.
