IF A BODY MEETS A BODY (1945)

Film Pick of the Day
Wednesday, September 9, 2026

Moe reads in the newspaper that Curly is the missing heir to his rich uncle Bob O. Link's estate. The Stooges go to the mansion, only to find out that Prof. Bob O. Link didn't die, he was murdered! And both his body and the will are missing. The boys have to spend the night in the spooky old house and solve the mystery.

A remake of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy's THE LAUREL-HARDY MURDER CASE (1930). Fred Kelsey plays the detective in both versions.

The premiere of a new, slower rendition of "Three Blind Mice" as the Stooges' theme music, arranged by John Leipold and Nico Grigor, which will be used into 1948; see The Three Stooges Journal # 91 (Fall 1999).
