No.

Curly suffered a stroke while filming Half-Wits Holiday in 1946. He never made a full recovery although he did a cameo bit in Hold That Lion in 1947. He suffered another stroke in 1948 and spent the final three years of his life (Curly passed away January 18, 1952) in and out of hospitals and rehab centers.

What was the best movie made with the three stooges starring moe Larry and curly?

The movie you describe was never made. Curly Howard died before the Three Stooges made any movies, and he appeared only in short films. The third stooge in the Three Stooges movies was played by Curly Joe DiRita. Of the shorts (with Curly) I liked "Punch Drunk" the best. Of the movies (with Curly Joe) I liked "The Three Stooges in Orbit" the best.
