Interesting facts

Quiz Whizz is a 1958 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges. It is the 183rd 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 on May 2–3, 1957, Quiz Whizz features Moe and Larry's more "gentlemanly" haircuts, first suggested by Joe Besser. However, these had to be used sparingly, as most of the shorts with Besser were remakes of earlier films, and new footage had to be matched with old. However, in Quiz Whizz, Larry's frizz is combed back, while Moe retained his sugarbowl bangs.

This film marks the return of supporting actor Harold Brauer and it is his only appearance in a Joe Besser film.
