BEDLAM IN PARADISE (1955)

Film Pick of the Day
Friday, August 21, 2026

In Heaven, Shemp is confronted at the Gates by the Devil and his temptress Helen Blazes (Sylvia Lewis). Angel Uncle Mortimer (Moe Howard, in a dual role) tells Shemp that he can redeem himself if he reforms Moe & Larry. The two remaining Stooges plan to use the money Shemp left them to sell a phony fountain pen invention ("It writes under whip cream!"), thanks to the Devil's advice.

A remake of HEAVENLY DAZE (1948), with stock footage.

An interview with costar Sylvia Lewis ('Helen Blazes') appears in The Three Stooges Journal # 112 (Winter 2004).
