The Knife of the Party
- February 16, 1934 (1934-02-16)
The Knife of the Party is a black-and-white short film starring Shemp Howard. The comedy was filmed at Van Beuren Studios and released by RKO Radio Pictures on February 16, 1934.
Shemp Howard and His Stooges
Shemp Howard makes an odd appearance as the lead stooge of four smack-around stooges. This act was presumably either a casting decision by the filmmakers or a short-lived act put together by Shemp. Shemp had been the original second stooge with Moe Howard as first and Kenneth Lackey (later replaced by Larry Fine) as the original third stooge. Three Stooges Shemp later left the act to be replaced by his brother Curly Howard, then returned after Curly retired in the wake of a series of strokes.
This feature appears on the Three Stooges DVD The Three Stooges: Greatest Hits and Rarities.
