Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn one scene, Christine McIntyre's character discovers that Shemp Howard is not the "Cousin Basil" she thought he was, and slaps him around, then punches him and knocks him through the door. McIntyre, who was not a professional stuntwoman, was timid and had to be coaxed by Shemp into performing the scene believably. After throwing him a great round of slaps with both hands, she leaned too far in with the finish; a powerful punch to the face. She actually did hit him, breaking his nose. The sequence was left in the picture. When it is watched in slow motion, Shemp can be seen falling down and opening his mouth like he was yelling in pain after the punch. Shemp was reportedly very groggy immediately afterwards. Christine then repeatedly apologized.
- GoofsA flat scooter is visible when Shemp Howard is pulled into the piano to free himself from the wires.

Shemp: [to Larry] Except to have somebody cut it.
Larry: How'd you like to be married to a dame like that?
Shemp: Don't even say that!

Featured review
Shemp the Great.
The entire civilized world by now knows that this is where Emil Sitka says his immortal "Hold hands, you lovebirds." But Shemp Howard, Professor of Music, steals the show. Watch him tutoring Dee Green as she fractures the "Voices of Spring." Watch Shemp as he shaves by a mirror suspended from the ceiling by a string. Watch him as he gets walloped by Christine McIntyre. Watch him, and you will laugh and learn. Moe is no slouch either. Watch him as he attempts to induce a woman to sit on a bear trap. Larry, as usual, is the Zen master of reaction. All in all, one of the very best Stooge shorts. You won't find one weak moment.
