Production notes

Dizzy Detectives was filmed over four days on June 29-July 2, 1942. The opening carpentry scene is recycled footage from 1935's Pardon My Scotch, including footage of Moe crashing to the floor and breaking three ribs.

This is the second of three Stooge shorts with the word "dizzy" in the title.

Dizzy Detectives was remade — line-by-line — with future third Stooge Joe Besser and Jim Hawthorne as 'Fraidy Cat in 1951; Fraidy Cat was itself remade in 1955 as Hook a Crook, using stock footage. Jules White directed all three films.
