The Three Stooges were a slapstick comedy team active from 1922 until 1970, and made 190 short films during their time at Columbia Pictures. Most of the cartoonish sound effects used in these short films were done by sound editor Joe Henrie, although some sounds may originate from Columbia's own sound library at the time. Some sounds from these films are available on commercial libraries.
May 5, 1934 - September 1, 1959
Storyline[]
