Pardon My Terror

Pardon My Terror is the short subject starring Richard Lane and Gus Schilling. The supporting cast also includes Christine McIntyre, Lynne Lyons, Philip Van Zandt, Kenneth McDonald, Dick Wessel, Vernon Dent, Emil Sitka and Dudley Dickerson.

Pardon My Terror was originally meant to star The Three Stooges. Director Edward Bernds had completed the script in 1946 and was ready to shoot the film after the Stooges HalfWits Holiday, Curly Howards last starring film with the Stooges. Howards untimely stroke rendered him unable to continue with the act, so Bernds jettisoned his original script and hastily rewrote it for Schilling amp Lane. Schillings part was written as a combined CurlyLarry Fine role, while Lanes was as Moe Howard.Bernds later admitted that the rewritten script was not a good fit for Schilling amp Lane and he was determined to have the Stooges film their version of Pardon My Terror. As such, he reverted to his original script, adhered Curlys previous lines for Shemp Howard who had replaced his brother in 1946, and retitled the film Who Done It?. Who Done It? would become one of the finest comedies the team ever produced. Stooge expert Jon Solomon, author of The Complete Three Stooges The Official Filmography and Three Stooges Companion commented that this wellbalanced mixture of physical abuse, verbal banter, and emotional surprise is particularly vibrant even for a Stooge film. ........
