In the scene where a frozen Curly Howard is thawed over an open fire, Moe Howard and Larry Fine couldn't turn the crank and the straps holding Curly slipped off. "He was pretty well seared," an observer recalled. "Curly was hollering his head off."
On the Columbia Pictures DVD "Stooged and Confoosed" this is one of four shorts that have been colorized. The colorization is quite good--so good in fact, that in the very opening sequence when the girls at the college are playing basketball you can clearly see that their tops were very sheer, and they wore nothing underneath them. In the original B&W, no one noticed.
This short contains the classic The Three Stooges rendition of "Swinging the Alphabet", originally composed by Septimus Winner, under the title "The Spelling Bee". Charley Chase's family maid taught it to his children, and Charley brought it to the attention of the Stooges.
If you look closely you can see one male student among the all-female student body just before the sing-along.
