This is basically a scene by scene remake of the superior Half-Wits Holiday which was Curly's last film as a Stooge. What disappoints me is the stock footage from that short.
The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made.
"Pies and Guys" is, in my opinion, one of the best of the sixteen Three Stooges shorts that Moe and Larry made with Joe Besser. This is largely because this short is virtually a scene-for-scene, line-for-line remake of the last Stooge short with Curly, "Half-Wits Holiday" (1947).
"Pies and Guys" is an American black-and-white short film from 1958, so this one has its 60th anniversary this year. It is another co-production family affair by 4-time Oscar nominee Jules White with his older brother Jack.
