Anecdotes

Calling All Curs is a 1939 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges. It is the 41st entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.

Production notes

Filmed on December 27–30, 1938, the title Calling All Curs is a pun on the phrase "Calling all cars!" A colorized version of this film was released in 2006 as part of the DVD collection entitled "Stooges on the Run."

Garçon gives birth at the end of the short, and is referred to by feminine pronouns throughout. Garçon is French for “boy.”

This marks one of the few times the Stooges have respectable, professional careers as opposed to working as blue-collar laborers.

This was one of Curly Howard's favorite Stooge films as he was a well-known dog lover.

Footage was reused in the 1960 compilation feature film Stop! Look! and Laugh!
