Wikipedia article




'Shot in the Frontier' is a 1954 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Shemp Howard). It is the 157th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.

Plot



It is only after their nuptials that the Stooges discover that the Noonan brothers took a liking to the wives during the Stooges' recent absence, and vowed to kill our heroes if the weddings occurred. After the Sheriff/Justice of the Peace leaves, the Stooges are stalked by the Noonan brothers, engaging in a slapstick gun battle, and in the end, a fist fight.

Production notes



'Shot in the Frontier' was filmed on October 2628, 1953, nearly one year prior to its release. It is a parody of the 1952 Stanley Kramer Western 'High Noon'.

This is one of only two shorts released in 1954 containing all new footage, the other being 'Income Tax Sappy'. Shemp Howard did not slick down his long hair in either film. This was because he had begun dying his hair by this time, and initially could not use pomade.
