Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Joe Besser, Lorraine Crawford, Marilyn Hanold, and Harriette Tarler in Space Ship Sappy (1957)

Trivia

Space Ship Sappy

Edit
Moe and Larry wear their hair combed as they did in their private lives, instead of how they wore it as The Stooges.
The alien women speak in their native tongue and Moe calls it a "rock and roll dialogue", to which Larry says, "They must have heard Elvis Presley." Singer Elvis Presley had become a national phenomenon in 1956, about a year before this movie was released.
Doreen Woodbury, the shapely, beautiful Australian actress who played Professor Benny Rubin's daughter Lisa died two months before this short came out in April 1957.

Sadly, she committed suicide by taking an overdose of sleeping pills. She was 30 & had mostly small roles in five films, this film being her biggest role (she even received higher billing that veteran comic Rubin, possibly at the behest of Columbia Pictures chief Harry Cohn.

Find a Grave reports that "at the time of her death she had been groomed by Cohn possibly as competition for actress Kim Novak to star in the film, 'Pal Joey'."
This 1957 short includes the "Liars Club 27th Annual Convention." It is also 27 years since the film debut of the Three Stooges in "Soup to Nuts" (1930).
Two years later, Marilyn Hanold became Playboy Playmate of the Month for June 1959.
