Three Sappy People is a 1939 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard). It is the 43rd entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.
Plot
The Stooges are phone repairmen unwittingly mistaken for esteemed psychiatrists, Drs. Z. Ziller, X. Zeller, and Y. Zoller, while occupying their office space. Wealthy patron J. Rumsford Rumford, influenced by a recommendation from a medical acquaintance, engages the services of the Stooges to attend to his spirited wife, Sherry Rumford.
During the course of their appointment, the Stooges inadvertently disrupt a formal dinner gathering, instigating a chaotic food altercation in their characteristic manner. Despite the commotion, the unorthodox behavior of the Stooges inadvertently amuses Mrs. Rumford, leading her husband to conclude erroneously that her ailment has been remedied.
Consequently, the Stooges are generously compensated for their purported therapeutic intervention.
Production notes
Three Sappy People was filmed on April 6–10, 1939.[1] The film's title is a parody of the song title "Two Sleepy People." The short is also the sixth of sixteen Stooge shorts with the word "three" in the title.[2]
During the pastry fight, 22-year-old Lorna Gray was treated on the set after a cream puff became lodged in her throat. However, in an interview later in her life, Gray stated that she actually was not in any danger and that it was instead director Jules White who was so concerned that he nearly ruined the take.[2]
