Interesting facts
Plane Nuts was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on October 14, 1933, and is the fourth of five short subjects starring Ted Healy and His Stooges. The others are Nertsery Rhymes (1933), Hello Pop! (1933), Beer and Pretzels (1933), and The Big Idea (1934). A musical-comedy film, Plane Nuts features Bonnie Bonnell as Healy's love interest. The Stooges were billed as "Howard, Fine and Howard."
Production notes
The musical numbers "Happy Landing" and "Dance Until Dawn" were lifted from the 1931 MGM feature film Flying High.
The Stooges and Healy were to appear in a segment where they fly around the world backwards, but it was cut from the final version. This footage is discussed, with production photos, in Leonard Maltin's 1990 television documentary The Lost Stooges.
