This is a 90% copy of the 1948 Stooge Short "Heavenly Daze". It so sad that in November 1955 shortly after this remake was done, Shemp really did die at age 60. "RIP Shemp, hope ya got the Dame after all"!

2:35 I think the most epic fall (?) I have seen in the stooges so far. ^^

Original footage of this film was made on July 9,1954.

@Bstacker1 That's gotta be really painful. And I read on Wikipedia that they cut the take from that shot [they picked up a while later] and while Larry got medical attention, a furious Moe chased Jules White around the set, p***** off because he had promised the special effect gag would be harmless. If I was Moe, I would've chased White around the whole studio, becaude wouldn't you be p***** off if your best friend had been so seriously injured from a "harmless" joke? I would.

I find this short creepier than Marble Hornets. Why is the Devil defeated by whipped cream? Why is there a live actor in the cowboy painting at the lawyer's office? Why would the lawyer come out and admit he cheated them? Why is the sock guarded by dentures? Who did they belong to, who wasn't using them? Was the rain cloud prop borrowed from an elementary school?

@HaggisMcCrablice Actually, In "A Bird In A Head," Vernon Dent plays the evil scientist.

Shemp's last line is different from the original- he dubbed himself saying "Dear Uncle Mortimer", instead of "Dear Ma"...

@TheBookWorm1718 -- I have noticed Moe's eyebags looked really large there during the last dozen or so Besser-era shorts. You can see it especially in "Pies and Guys" when they recycle the pie fight footage from the Curly-era films a good decade before.

Van Zandt was usually cast, and quite well, as creepy mad scientist-types. I recommend "Bird in the Head" and "Dopey Dicks" as examples.

@48alfaone 60? Man they always looked good for their ages in these shorts because I NEVER thought of them as being old men, and I watched these ever since I was a little girl where to me even teenagers looked old. So I think that really says something.
