A Missed Fortune (1952)

Shemp wins $50,000 in a radio contest and the stooges move into the Hotel Costa Plente where they live it up and wreck their fancy suite.

Curiosità

A Missed Fortune is a 1952 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges. It is the 137th 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 over two days in 1951 (January 22–23), A Missed Fortune is a remake of 1938's Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb, using minimal stock footage. When Shemp falls onto the top of the bed, the footage is actually Curly borrowed from Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb (Curly can be heard yelling during the fall). Additionally, Larry taking a bath as well as the close-up of Moe yelling "Get this Henry the VIII off my neck!" is also stock.

This is the last Three Stooges film to be released during Curly Howard's lifetime. He died on January 18, 1952.
