G. I. WANNA HOME (1946)

Film Pick of the Day
Friday, October 9, 2026

The Stooges return home from the war, only to find their girlfriends dispossessed. With the housing shortage on, the boys cannot find a vacancy and resort to turning a backyard lot into a home. But the tractor-wielding lot owner may have something to say about it. Later, the now-married Stooges present their new brides with a tiny two-room house as their new home.

Costar Ethelreda Leopold ('Jessie') was a guest of the 1990 Three Stooges Convention in Philadelphia. See The Three Stooges Journal # 55 (Fall 1990).
