Fine Art of Boxing, The (No Stooge in the Ring)
Film Pick of the Day
Friday, March 6, 2026
The Stooges are hired as detectives to protect John Goodrich from the Phantom Gang. But before they can arrive, Goodrich is snatched by the Goon, a member of the gang, as is Goodrich's niece. The Stooges arrive and find themselves a target of the kidnappers and on the run for their lives.
A remake, with stock footage, of WHO DONE IT? (1949).
This is the last short released containing new footage of Shemp, most notably the opening sequences set at their detective agency ("Miracle Detective Agency - If We Solve Your Crime, It's a Miracle!"). However, production dates from Sony/Columbia's records indicate that new footage was done before FLAGPOLE JITTERS (1956); that short is actually the one with Shemp's final appearance.
