The Three Stooges were an American vaudeville and comedy act of the early to mid-20th century best known for their numerous short subject films. Their hallmark was physical slapstick comedy punctuated by quickly-delivered one-liners, within outrageous storylines. The basic premise for all their work was that they would take any job they could get no matter how little they were qualified for it. See the link below for a detailed biography of the Three Stooges and the characters who made up the act.
depends, if you are talking strictly the Columbia pictures shorts that aired in movie theatres and the tv series Curly was first. But if you talk the Vaudeville act that caught the attention of Columbia pictures to sign them Shemp was first. Shemp has the unique distinction of being the replacement for his replacement.
That was Merry Mavericks made in 1951. Click on the 'Merry Mavericks' link below to see some video of a headless Shemp.
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.
the short you asked about is called "I can hardly wait" and it was made in 1943.

Moe Larry and Curly, the three Stooges.
'Three Little Pirates'
Yes.Actually, the original short was Hold That Lion that was released in 1947 and the remake was Booty and the Beast that was released in 1953. The Stooges are looking for a crook that stole their dough and they follow him onto a train. They are looking around when they see a fellow sleeping in a seat with a derby hat over his face. Thinking this might be the crook, Larry lifts up the hat to reveal a snoring Curly who has a full head of hair. After a few seconds of snoring and barking and the like, Larry puts the hat back over Curly's face and the Stooges look elsewhere for the crook.This was the only time Moe, Curly, and Shemp appeared together in a Three Stooges short.
The first Three Stooges short was called Women Haters and was filmed in early 1934.
The three stooges were not midgets, but they were somewhat short.
Yes. Moe and Larry were the only two that stayed during the entire time. Curly was replaced by his older brother, Shemp, after an accidental prop mix-up during filming that caused him to be hit with an actual real hammer. When Shemp died from a heart attack after accidentally swallowing a lit cigar, he was replaced by Joe Besser. Joe only stayed for one year and was then replaced by Curly Joe DeRita, who stayed until the Stooges went their separate ways in 1969
Shemp was the tallest Stooge at about 5' 6", or MAYBE 5'7", but don't quote me on it. After watching many of Shemp's solo shorts from the 1930s, he doesn't look as small as he does in the Three Stooges shorts (in fact, to sidetrack a bit, as short as they looked on screen due to most of the supporting actors being 5'9"+ and women's heels of course, they really weren't that short in real life, a 5'4"-5'5" white guy is about equal to a 5'6"-5'7" white guy today). Anyway, 5'5"-5'7" is a safe bet for Shemp.
