The Stooge-itive
In 1947 a little-known Three Stooges one-reeler
told the story of Dr. Larry Kimble, an innocent if
bumbling physician, falsely convicted of the murder
of high-society dowager Helen Van der Biddy. En
route to the death house, he manages to escape
from the custody of police Lieutenant Curly Gerard
by spraying him in the face with a seltzer bottle
in the dining car of the train they are riding on.
Then he sets off to find a one-armed Moe
who he saw being a wise guy at the scene of the
crime. Below are a few stills from this rare short,
whose later influence on the creators of The
Fugitive can only be guessed at . . .
