Stop, Look and Laugh

Stop Look and Laugh is a 1960 featurelength Three Stooges compilation featuring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard. Eleven of the Stooges shorts were shown and bridged together with segments featuring Paul Winchell and his dummies, Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff. Near the end of the film, the Marquis Chimps perform a version of Cinderella narrated in rhyme by Winchell with June Foray providing female voices and Alan Reed providing the male ones as part of Knuckleheads bedtime story. New York Stooges TV host Officer Joe Bolton a staple of WPIXTV through the early 70s has a cameo as a customer in a cafe.

The film provoked controversy due to a lawsuit filed by the Three Stooges, who claimed producer Harry A. Romm who had produced their previous film Have Rocket, Will Travel created the film without their knowledge or permission. Columbia Pictures, which would eventually distribute the film, apologized and admitted that it had made an error by putting together a compilation of Three Stooges shorts without the teams consent. Both parties agreed to have the film released on July 4, 1960, and to provide the funding for the Three Stooges thennewly formed production company, Normandy Production.
