IN THE SWEET PIE AND PIE (1941)

Film Pick of the Day
Friday, August 7, 2026

Three rich heiresses must get married before Midnight to collect their inheritance, but their Navy fiancees have to ship out to Hawaii. Their lawyer arranges for them to marry three convicts about to be hanged - Moe, Larry and Curly! Unfortunately (for the girls), the Stooges are freed when the real killers are caught.

Prison footage was later reused in BEER BARREL POLECATS (1946). The dancing lesson footage is stock footage borrowed from HOI POLLOI (1935).

Costar Ethelreda Leopold (Baska Jones) was a guest of the 1990 Three Stooges Convention in Philadelphia. See The Three Stooges Journal # 55 (Fall 1990).
