An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French "Petite" Movie Poster (measures 15 1/2" x 22 1/4" [39 x 57 cm]) (Learn More) The Three Stooges are one the most loved comedy teams of all-time! They were famous for their violent slapstick comedy and their silly jokes! The Three Stooges went through several line-up changes which included Moe Howard, Curly (Jerry Howard), Larry Fine, Shemp Howard, Joe DeRita (more commonly known as Curly-Joe), and Joe Besser! Of course, any Stooge fan knows that they started in vaudeville with Moe Howard and Shemp Howard (brothers) and Larry Fine. When they switched to movies, Shemp dropped out of the act and their brother Jerry (Curly) took his place. Decades later, when Curly became sick, Shemp took his place, and later, Joe DeRita and Joe Besser took Shemp's place. It is also quite humorous that the Stooges were originally part of Ted Healy's act (billed as "Ted Healy and His Stooges"). When they started having success, they asked for a raise, and Healy fired them and replaced them with new "stooges", thinking that HE was the star, but things didn't work out the way he expected! Artist: Joseph Koutachy Important Added Info: Note that this is a French "stock" poster, with a blank area at the bottom where a French theater could either write in the title of the specific Three Stooges movie they were showing, or could glue on or tape on a paper snipe. This meant they could re-use the poster each time they showed a different Three Stooges movie. What is especially interesting about this poster is that you NEVER see non-U.S. posters for The Three Stooges! Maybe it is that their humor didn't translate so well (how does "nyuck nyuck nyuck" translate?), or maybe it is because they almost exclusively made shorts until their last few years, and there wasn't much call for a poster for a short outside the U.S. But if you are looking for a non-U.S. Three Stooges poster, this is it!
