Stop!, Look and Laugh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stop!, Look and Laugh was a full-length motion picture that was released in 1960. In all, there were clips of ten Three Stooges shorts, that included Calling All Curs, How High Is Up? and Micro-Phonies, which featured all of the original Three Stooges, Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard.
The shorts were often in-between the antics of Paul Winchell and his dummies, Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff. Near the end of the film, the Marquis Chimps performed a fairy tale, as part of Jerry Mahoney's bedtime story.
The film, oddly enough, provoked controversy due to a lawsuit filed by the Three Stooges, who claimed Columbia Pictures created the film without their knowledge or permission. Columbia Pictures Corporation, which would eventually distribute the film, apologized and admitted that it had made an error by putting together a compilation of Three Stooges shorts behind their backs. Both parties agreed to have the film released on July 4, 1960, and to provide the funding for the Three Stooges' then-newly-formed production company, Normandy Productions.
