Great to see a post on this terrific movie! I vividly remember when it came out and I loved it and it holds up wonderfully!

I was in Programming at KTLA-TV in L.A. and we used to chat about The Three Stooges! He was a terrific guy, so nice and so smart -- did you know he tragically died of a bee sting in his backyard in L.A., not long after doing these films? Such a loss...
Thanks again for a fun posting!
Thanks for the comment, and the cool story Lisa. I had never heard of George Gipe before, but he sounded like a swell guy. Wow, a bee sting, that's a freakish way to go.
Hi David - many thanks for finding the print promotion for DMDWP - as you say, so beautifully done you wonder who was behind it. Thanks for saving it from oblivion! Keep up the good work - Martin.
