Roast Beef and Movies (1934) is a short subject starring George Givot, along with Curly Howard (billed as "Jerry Howard"), Bobby Callahan, and the Albertina Rasch Dancers. (The film does not feature Ted Healy or the other Stooges.) The music is by Dmitri Tiomkin, who was married to Rasch at the time.
Notable in this film is Howard being more of a "middle stooge," similar to Larry Fine's character in the Three Stooges films, and using his real voice without the "Curly" inflections. Calahan played the "dumb" character that Howard would normally play.
The short, filmed in two-strip Technicolor, uses the "Chinese Ballet" segment from the MGM movie Children of Pleasure and the "Woman in the Shoe" segment from MGM's Lord Byron of Broadway (both 1930).[1]
