Plane Nuts httpsiytimgcomviVTMpaN4EwhAhqdefaultjpg

Release date
  
September 16, 1933 (1933-09-16)

Plane Nuts is the fourth of five short subjects starring Ted Healy and His Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard) released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1933. A musical-comedy film, the short also featured Bonnie Bonnell as Healy's love interest. The Stooges were billed as "Howard, Fine and Howard."

The musical numbers "Happy Landing" and "Dance Until Dawn" were lifted from the 1931 MGM feature film Flying High.

According to Moe Howard and Larry Fine, the film was originally planned as a feature film entitled Around the Worlds Backwards. A few individual 35mm frames survive of a scene with Healy and the Stooges piloting an airplane. Plane Nuts appears to be what would have been the feature's opening 2 reels, consisting of musical numbers recycled from other MGM films and a recreation of some of Ted Healy and His Stooges' stage act.
