Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn one scene, Christine McIntyre's character discovers that Shemp Howard is not the "Cousin Basil" she thought he was, and slaps him around, then punches him and knocks him through the door. McIntyre, who was not a professional stuntwoman, was timid and had to be coaxed by Shemp into performing the scene believably. After throwing him a great round of slaps with both hands, she leaned too far in with the finish; a powerful punch to the face. She actually did hit him, breaking his nose. The sequence was left in the picture. When it is watched in slow motion, Shemp can be seen falling down and opening his mouth like he was yelling in pain after the punch. Shemp was reportedly very groggy immediately afterwards. Christine then repeatedly apologized.
- GoofsA flat scooter is visible when Shemp Howard is pulled into the piano to free himself from the wires.
- Quotes

Shemp: [to Larry] Except to have somebody cut it.
Larry: How'd you like to be married to a dame like that?
Shemp: Don't even say that!

Featured review
'Hold Hands, You Lovebirds!'
"Professor Shemp Howard - Teacher Of Voice," reads the sign on the door.
After a funny scene with a woman whose voice would crack glass, Shemp learns from Moe that a recently-departed uncle left him $500,000 with the provision that he get married. Whoa.....not a confirmed bachelor like Shemp! No thanks, but wait....thanks to Moe's persuasiveness (some brutality) and thinking how much money that is (about $10 million today), Shem goes searching for a bride.
He has seven hours to find one, too, as a time deadline is alway in the will (only in the Three Stooges flicks to hear things like this!).
One happens after that starts slowly but builds to an incredible finish at the Justice Of The Peace where all hell breaks loose with a bunch of women beating up everyone in sight. It's incredible!
