    • Trivia
      Shemp Howard's final film as a solo star. He got called in to replace Curly Howard following his stroke in May 1946. He would co-star by himself in Abbott and Costello's Africa Screams (1949). This short is also notable that it was released a couple weeks after Shemp's first short with Moe and Larry called Fright Night (1947).
    • Goofs
      When the cigarette-puffing cab driver (Emil Sitka) is watching Shemp trying to push the taxi of a mud puddle, Sitka can be seen coughing a few times. This explains that in real life, he was never a smoker and had difficulty trying to inhale the smoke.

      Edited from The Awful Goof (1939)

    Is Three Times The Charm?
    Shemp wants to be married to Jean Willes, but Christine McIntyre keeps popping up and wrecking the moment, along with her husband, Dick Curtis in this, the last solo Shemp Howard short comedy before he returned full-time to the Three Stooges series.

    It's based in part on Charley Chase's silent LIMOUSINE LOVE and his partial remake. THE AWFUL GOOF. It's considerably less racy than the first version, in which Charley finds a nude Viola Richards in his car, much to the amusement of all the men; later versions are much more disapproving in the way that the Code would call for.

    Several of Shemp's Columbia shorts are based on shorts that Chase did for Columbia. MR. NOISY, for example, was based on Chase's THE HECKLER. His over-the-top, tic-filled reactions, certainly offer a different form of comedy!
