흥미로운 사실

Dunked in the Deep is a 1949 American short subject directed by Jules White starring slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges. It was written by Felix Adler and is the 119th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.

Production notes

The voice heard on the radio broadcast is Moe; Shemp Howard accidentally cut his hand on the lock when he rushes to the door in an effort to open it.

Hiding microfilm in watermelons is an allusion to an actual event from the previous year. In 1948, Time managing editor Whittaker Chambers, a former Communist spy-turned government informer, accused Alger Hiss of being a member of the Communist Party and a spy for the Soviet Union.

Dunked in the Deep was filmed March 29–April 1, 1949 and was actually the 126th Stooge short filmed even though it was released as the 119th. The first seven Stooge shorts released the following year in 1950 had already been completed before Dunked in the Deep began production.

Dunked in the Deep was reworked in 1956 as Commotion on the Ocean, using ample stock footage.
