Storyline

- TriviaEpilogue: "Following their triumphant return to the stage, The Three Stooges became one of the most popular--and best paid--live comedy acts in America. Joe DeRita died in 1993. He always said that his years with The Stooges were the best of his life. Larry Fine suffered a stroke in 1970. He died in January 1975 at the age of 72. He remained a free spender up until the end. Moe Howard followed his lifelong friend and partner four months later. His passing marked the end of one of the most durable acts in comic history. In their 24-year career their slapstick escapades, televised around the world, have inspired a generation of comedians. They remain a favorite of all ages."
- GoofsCurly Howard did not suffer his career ending stroke during the filming of a scene of Half-Wits Holiday (1947). It happened while he was offstage waiting for the scene to begin. He didn't respond when called, and Moe found him with his head slumped to his chest, unable to speak.
- Quotes
[from Ants in the Pantry]
Larry Fine: Oooh, I can't see, I can't see!
Moe Howard: What's the matter?
Larry Fine: I've got my eyes closed.

Featured review
In all the comments I have read before this one, not one mention of the man responsible for the production was Australian actor, Mel Gibson. Gibson, a life-long fan of the Stooges, was the executive Producer of the Film and put up most of the money for the production.(He even did a Stooges routine in the opening scene of Lethal Weapon). And it was filmed entirely in Australia. It is a shame that no American Studio thought enough of them to make the film.
The film was a wonderful tribute to the Stooges and the portrayals were magnificent. Here it is two years later and the movie is still not available on Video. How fortunate I was to tape the movie (less commercials), so that I have enjoyed it time and again since I first saw it. I do hope ABC will repeat it or Cable will pick it up to screen on the TRUE Channel.
