HE COOKED HIS GOOSE (1952)

Film Pick of the Day
Wednesday, March 18, 2026

Larry is a pet store dealer who is having an affair with Moe's wife and is trying to have an affair with Shemp's fiancee. After both become suspicious, Larry comes up with a plan to put himself in the clear and frame Shemp as the philanderer.

The Stooges play separate characters in this short and Larry gets the main role.

Remade as TRIPLE CROSSED (1959), with some stock footage.

Costar Diana Darrin ('Miss Lapdale') was interviewed at the 2006 Fan Club Meeting in Fort Washington PA. Her interview appears in The Three Stooges Journal # 118 (Summer 2006). Ms. Darrin was also a guest of the 1993 Three Stooges Convention in Philadelphia; see Journal # 67 (Fall 1993).
