Corny Casanovas (1952)

Their Slap-happiest Hit

The stooges don't know it, but they are all engaged to the same girl, a gold-digger who plans to get an engagement ring from each of them and then abandon them. When all three show up at her house at the same time, a wild fight ensues, as each stooge accuses the others of making time with "his" girl. The stooges knock each other senseless and the girl escapes with their rings.

Interesting facts

Production notes

Corny Casanovas was filmed on December 3–5, 1951. It was remade with Joe Besser in 1957 as Rusty Romeos, using ample recycled footage. A mild variation of the Stooges' theme song "Three Blind Mice" was used for this film. This version would be used throughout 1952.

Director Jules White distinguished himself through the incorporation of numerous comedic elements centered around physical humor, particularly involving depictions of violence directed at the buttocks. While such humor was perceived as coarse by other directors at Columbia Pictures, White viewed it as integral to the comedic essence of the Stooges' brand.
