Trivia

This is one of 4 Three Stooges shorts that ended up falling into the public domain, the other 3 being Brideless Groom, Sing a Song of Six Pants, and Disorder in the Court. Because of that, these four shorts frequently appear on very cheaply processed video and DVD compilations. See more »

Goofs

After the table gets knocked over, a finger can briefly be seen under the leg of the table, poking at the cat to get it to leave the shot. See more »

Malice In THe Palace
12 November 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

One of the better written and directed shorts with Shemp. Actually, the Shemp shorts up to about 1952 are pretty consistent as to quality. It's been written that a version with Curly was filmed, or planned. This makes sense, as it would free up Moe, Larry, and Shemp to react as a trio to Curly, who plays the A-type personality in charge of fixin's. It seems that all that remains is a single lobby card photo with a mustached Curly in a chef's costume. One source says that a complete Curly version exists alongside the Shemp version, but has never been shown. I am mystified that there isn't more interest in the alternate version. I hope to contact Columbia pictures and request it, as it appears that the original shorts will finally be released on DVD. Thanks!
