Shemp Howard had the most viable film career outside of the Three Stooges. Moe appeared in a couple of films.
They almost reunited for Blazing Stewardesses but the Ritz Brothers ended up with the part (I think because of Larry’s failing health).
Yeah I do remember that about Shemp. And that’s more or less my point. Shemp had too hard of an act to follow when Curly had to retire. Objectively Shemp was great - it’s just that he wasn’t Curly.
