What also makes this more sad, is that as Curly's mentality deteriorated from the effects of the stroke, he was bouncing from different hospitals to care for him. They refused him because he became difficult to care. And Moe refused to give up, he made sure his brother was going to be cared for until his passing. Moe was the greatest brother to him, and Curly was fortunate to have spent his final yet painful moments with him.
In the weeks before Curlys death, Moe had to pause from filming "He Cooked His Goose" in order to move Curly to another Sanatorium. It's one of my favourite shorts "Moe You might fall .....I hope" "Blitzen is in the kitchen, Dancer has got the Answers in his Pantzers" Classic
Moe truly was a loving and caring brother to Curly. When Curly was 13, he accidentally shot himself in the leg with his father’s gun while cleaning it. Moe immediately rushed him to the hospital and he was saved. As adults, Moe straightened out Curly’s finances and even helped him remember his lines in future episodes, during Curly’s final years!!!
Curly was NOT fired. After his stroke, he was in a wheelchair and couldn’t do much. He did regain some of his strength, but he wasn’t able to perform again. All the years of drinking caught up to him. So sad he died so young.
@bigwillietheb I personally liked Larry, then Moe and then Curly. But Curly was really amazing as his role of one of the Stooges. Doesn't make him any less of a brilliant comedic actor just because he isn't my first favourite.
This scene is very heartbreaking seeing Curly all limped from the stroke what these guys went through really wore them out and of course, Hollywood itself was and still is very hard on people who become famous
The most touching scene of the movie to me is when curly returns home to the hotel and the arrogant couples start poking him in the eye. I don't know if that actually happened but it's heartbreaking nonetheless. Thank you for commenting!
@@kevincorcoran6493 I'm not sure if that particular incident actually happened but there were several incidents where Curly and the other Stooges were attacked by starstruck fans, including one time where a nine-year-old boy hit them over the head with a cane. Also, 1944 was the year where Curly's drinking and poor self care really got out of hand and began to take its toll on his health. In early 1945 he finally agreed to see a doctor, and was diagnosed with hypertension, obesity, and a retinal hemorrhage, and suffered a mild stroke which affected his performance, followed by a bigger stroke in 1946 during the filming of Half-Wits Holiday (though it actually happened during a break in filming and most of the film had been completed save for the pie fight scene at the end), after which he retired from the Stooges.
Story goes they had the tarp out and everything all set up to do the pie fight scene, everyone got called to the set, Curly didn't answer, Moe went looking for him and found him sitting in Jules White's chair slumped over and in tears. More quietly told Jules, Curly was taken to the hospital and they re-worked the scene. Immediately after they finished Moe went to the hospital to visit his brother. Jules said afterwards in hindsight he should have seen it coming cause Curly was really struggling to remember his lines that day. Curly often had trouble remembering lines but on that day it was especially bad. So sad the short they did right before that "Three little Pirates" is considered one of Curly's best performances almost made you think he was going to recover but turned out to be his last great performance.
They were both great as Moe and curly respectively. And of course in other projects that they have done. Thank you for commenting! PS I think Evan Handler did a decent Larry as well.
As a lifelong stooge fan, few actors would be willing to take on such a role, Chicklis did a spectacular job of reprising the role of Curly, I was very impressed with his performance.
yes it was called hold that lion in that show curly grew his hair back it was beautiful and touching scene to see the howard brothers and larry in one show
He did film a scene for Malice in the Palace but it got cut. Word is his performance wasn't good. There is a still pic going around he looks so skinny, like a completely different person. He clearly wasn't well.
I just ordered the Blu Ray set from Sony at Amazon and this TV movie was included in the set for anyone who is interested, so I look forward to watching this again on Blu Ray. The acting was great and it gives you an idea of what the real Stooges went through.
We may never see a big screen biography on the three stooges I still regard this as the best true story on them hard to believe I remember seeing this the night it premiered 22 years ago
I also remember. It was before the internet became quite prominent even though it did exist at the time. I remember everyone talking about it at work the morning before the night it aired. It was certainly a thrill. Thank you for commenting!
A sad scene but not 100% accurate. While Curly’s deteriorating health did end his career, it was hoped that following his major stroke during “Half Wits Holiday” he would recover enough to rejoin the group with Shemp being a temporary replacement. At first he would recover enough to have a cameo in the stooge short “Hold That Lion” (the only time Moe, Shemp, and Curly along with Larry appeared together in a Three Stooges Short). Unfortunately he never regained his skills and mobility enough to return to the act. The chipping in of their salary towards his care along with Curly signing away his rights was done so money could be held for Curly’s health care and estate management. Curly actually had a happy post Stooge life. He regrew his hair back, remarried, and had a baby daughter and despite having limited mobility led a peaceful few more years. Sadly he suffered a second major stroke and died soon after. This scene here may have depicted him in his final stage of life in 1952 after he was moved to a Sanatorium.
Thank you for all of that information. He was certainly too young to of undergone such a health struggle. If high blood pressure medication existed in those days he probably would have lived a longer life. Thank you for visiting my channel and thank you for commenting!
@@kevincorcoran6493Agreed…alot of his issues were lifestyle related…smoking being the worst, even after his first big stroke in 1946 Curly refused to give up his cigars…but no doubt genetic cholesterol issues had a hand and meds could have helped. One can imagine what could have been if Curly lived a full life. No doubt he would have been in a few movies post Three Stooges…Can you picture him in Herbie the Love Bug instead of Buddy Hackett? Or at age 78 as a funny elderly passenger in “Airplane!” No doubt his voice would have been heard coming out of quite a few Saturday morning cartoon characters during the 70’s!
@@kevincorcoran6493 M.D. here- There were no commercially available antihypertensives until 1947, all of which had many unpleasant side effects. Indeed, it was widely thought at the time that high blood pressure was a normal product of aging. Curly likely had obstructive sleep apnea, type ll diabetes, and renal insufficiency, which, along with his obesity, smoking, drinking, and hectic lifestyle would have contributed greatly to the malignant hypertension that eventually killed him. Such things unfortunately were poorly understood at the time.
All the stooges are there now: Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, Curly Joe DeRita, Joe Besser & longtime supporting player Emil Sitka (who was slated to replace Larry after his stroke but it never came to be)
This movie had me crying it killed me inside after Moe has memories of the rest of them I couldn't watch it I had to go smoke a cigarette and drink a monster to calm down poor Moe it had to be painful to lose his friends rest in peace to all the stooges you guys had me crying from laughing so hard that was my favorite childhood.
The Three Stooges were funny but there was a lot of tragedy associated with them. Thanks for commenting and especially for visiting my channel! God bless.
Poor Curly, after surviving a minor stroke, he had to leave and made his last appearance in Hold that Lion and Booty and the Beast. I do feel sorry for him.
I don’t view this as being fired. I view this as Moe looking after his brother. This means any money the studios make off of his name Moe would get, and in return would go to Curly.
This is a touching scene, but I don’t like how the next scene Curly’s dead. He did get better and made a cameo. Also, he got married and had a child. He died several years later in 1952.
Agreed! Toward the end of the movie it kind of summed up very quickly. A little too quickly for me. Right after curly died then they had Shemp die. I thought it was a entertaining movie but I took it with a grain of salt. Or better one could be made for theaters but the performances of the actors was outstanding. Thanks for visiting the page and thank you for commenting!
They actually had a signed deal at one point that if and when he recovered Shemp would leave again and Curly would come back. Shemp initially didn't want to come back but he agreed to on a temporary basis to help them out. That stood until it was clear that Curly wasn't going to be able to come back.
This is information I did not know. Thank you for your input always great to hear a news story about them. Additionally thank you for visiting the channel!
He certainly didn't try to imitate Curly's act when he took over. Thanks for talking and visiting the channel! PS he made the 3rd stooge his own. It would have been pathetic if he acted like curly
@@kevincorcoran6493 It also helped that Shemp already developed his own character (a cowardly dimwit who said "eebeebeebeeb!") in his solo outings, independently of the Stooges. He put his character to great use when he came back.

What happened is he had a series of small strokes during the summer before and they couldn't get time off for him to rest. He tried to keep going but it was clear very often, he wasn't well. Whether a break would have helped or not, hard to say. But he definitely shouldn't have been working.

Yes he did , Moe was the clever one in the act, If any decision was made to recruit a stooge or fire a stooges It had to go through Moe because he handled all their business affairs.
I would say yes but that is usually a product of most biopics. I wouldn't take this film as a actual account 100% of The Three Stooges lives though there are some truths in it. I don't know if you are a Laurel and Hardy fan but the movie Stan and Ollie with John C Reilly is highly acclaimed as a biopic. I would check that out if I were you.

@@DriftyAlison0 The movie didn't make out that Curly gotfired at all, no where did it say he got fired and Moe never said the words that he was fired. Hee was not able to perform because of his stroke so Moe had to make other arrangements, that is completely different to getting fired.
If Curly would've taken time to take care of himself and let go of the drinking, partying and those other things, his death wouldn't have never happened.
Good point but there's a lot more to it than that. He was being overworked at Columbia. He wasn't feeling well which he should have sought medical attention for prior to the stroke. But I don't know how advanced medicine was back in those days. I'm not certain if they had high blood pressure medication then but I'm doubtful. As a suffering myself my medication keeps my blood pressure at a normal rate. I was feeling terrible before I found out I went to the doctor. It was through the roof. So perhaps if there was high blood pressure medication and he was diligent in taking it and cut down on the drinking he could have lived a long life. Thanks for commenting and visiting the channel! PS sure not certain whether or not there was high blood pressure medication back then.
Probably not it was done for dramatization purposes for the movie. I never take biopics of people very seriously. Thanks for commenting and visiting the channel!

He got his in the end. he had a massive heart attack after firing Three Stooges a couple months later. He was also a scumbag who helped invent the Hollywood Casting Couch
