Larry plans to steal Joe's girlfriend by involving him in a tryst with Moe's wife.

By Woolsey, Aug 12, 2009

"I'm not a playboy! Am I?" This is mainly Joe's show, but his performance doesn't do much to save the film. The Shemp original remains far superior. This one suffers from an enormous overuse of archive footage from said original. Even Shemp's voice can be heard at one point! Of course, the Stooges budgets were so low by that point, the editors probably couldn't afford to fix this. Moe's part is very small and most of his activity is reused footage. There are a few good (new) scenes with Joe and Larrt, notably the frog in the sandwich bit. Still weak for the most part.moreless

TRIVIA (4)
ADD TRIVIA
- The scenes of Larry and Moe talking in Larry's office are stock footage from He Cooked His Goose (1952). However, when Joe must interact with Larry in the same setting, new footage had to be filmed. It is easy to tell the two apart because the picture on the wall above Larry's filing cabinet changes and the one hanging behind his desk disappears.
  EDIT SHARE
- In the original He Cooked His Goose, Mary Ainslee played the part of Belle. Ainslee did not reprise her role for this film, so the new footage of Belle is played by Connie Cezan.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Moe shoots at Joe up the chimney, you can hear Shemp Howard's yell from He Cooked His Goose. In a cost-saving measure, Joe Besser's voice was not dubbed over Shemp's for authenticity.
  EDIT SHARE
- In the beginning of the episode, when Millie says "I have a date with Joe", you cansee her mouth saying "Shemp" instead of Joe. Joe's name was dubbed over.
