Interesting facts

Don't Throw That Knife is a 1951 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges. It is the 131st entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.

Production notes

"Don't Throw That Knife" was filmed on June 20–22, 1950. The film title is officially listed with quotation marks around it (as in "Don't Throw That Knife").

Author Michael Fleming observed that Don't Throw That Knife marked the first significantly subpar entry in the series directed by Jules White. White had been alternating directorial duties with Edward Bernds whose contributions displayed a discernible polish that White's work was starting to lack. By the following year, a power struggle erupted at Columbia Pictures, leading to the departure of both Bernds and producer Hugh McCollum.
