Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ray Corrigan's 'archive footage' gorilla appearance means this short technically recycles performances from 1940s jungle films without the actor's knowledge.
Joe Besser was the 'replacement Stooge' who briefly joined Three Stooges in 1957—this 1951 short captures his solo scream-era before that controversial gig.
