The Three Stooges filmography
This is a complete list of short subjects and feature films that featured The Three Stooges released between 1930 and 1970. Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Shemp Howard debuted on screen with Ted Healy in Soup to Nuts (1930) released by Fox Film Corporation. Shemp departed the act in 1932 to pursue a solo career and was replaced by his younger brother Curly Howard. This incarnation of the team appeared in several shorts and feature films with Healy at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1933 and 1934. Moe, Larry and Curly left Healy in 1934 and moved to Columbia Pictures to begin their successful series of 190 shorts, with their contract extended each year until the final one expired on December 31, 1957. Shemp returned to the act when Curly fell into his illness in 1946 and featured in 77 entries with Columbia Pictures and one independent feature-length production, Gold Raiders (1950), between 1947 and 1955. The final 8 of the 16 shorts with Joe Besser were released afterwards over the next 1⅓ years. The Stooges would continue afterwards with Moe, Larry, and Joe DeRita (as "Curly Joe"), and make several full-length feature films between 1959 and 1970. For more information about their solo or non-group credits, consult their individual pages.
