Notes
*"Horsing Around" is a
sequel to "Hoofs and Goofs ". Once again,Harriette Tarler pulls double duty as both the voice of Bertie, and a showgirl at the circus. [Solomon, Jon. (2002) "The Complete Three Stooges: The Official Filmography and Three Stooges Companion", p. 494; Comedy III Productions, Inc., ISBN 0971186804]
*"Horsing Around" features Moe and Larry's more "gentlemanly" haircuts, first suggested byJoe Besser . These had to be used sparingly, however, as most of the shorts with Besser were remakes of earlier films, and new footage had to be matched with old.
