Interesting facts

Out West is a 1947 short subject directed by Edward Bernds starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges. It is the 99th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.

Production notes

Out West was filmed July 8–11, 1946, and is the second short to feature Shemp Howard, taking the place of his brother Curly Howard. Like the previous short, Fright Night, Out West was originally written for Curly, but had to be adjusted for Shemp upon his return to the act. The film is also a remake of Pistol Packing Nitwits starring Harry Langdon and El Brendel. It would later be remade in 1954 as Pals and Gals, using ample stock footage.

The congested vein is originally in Shemp's right leg, but he favors his left leg throughout the film.
