Could Have Been Better
by insanity_842003-12-13

"This is basically a scene by scene remake of the superior Half-Wits Holiday which was Curly's last film as a Stooge. What disappoints me is the stock footage from that short. I know the short subject department was getting less money from the studio and had to use stock footage, but what about putting them in a more original situation. At least Joe gets hit more and gets hit with a pie...."

💡 Did You Know?

Contains pie-fight scenes from "Half-Wits Holiday" (1947), which this short was a remake of, which in turn was a remake of "Hoi Polloi" (1935).
