Featuring Moe, Larry and Joe
90 min. (Feature Film)
Feature compilation of several 1957 - 1959 Three Stooges shorts starring Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Joe Besser.
Columbia offered ten of the sixteen shorts with Besser for this compilation program: TRIPLE CROSSED (1959), FIFI BLOWS HER TOP (1958), OILS WELL THAT ENDS WELL (1958), QUIZ WHIZZ (1958), FLYING SAUCER DAFFY (1958), HORSING AROUND (1957), SWEET AND HOT (1958), RUSTY ROMEOS (1957), PIES AND GUYS (1958) and OUTER SPACE JITTERS (1957).
Each theater created its own program, selecting four - six shorts. 90 minutes is a ballpark estimate of the longest running time created.
Why Columbia only offered these 10 shorts, and not the entire 16 films in the Besser group, is unknown.
The only FUN-O-RAMA footage created by Columbia was a special title leader, and a trailer.
