Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Swing Parade of 1946 (1946)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Curly Howard, 42, had suffered a series of minor strokes several months before filming Swing Parade of 1946. He appears healthier and more animated in the film than in the Three Stooges' Columbia shorts, possibly because his supporting role was less strenuous than the shorts, where he was in virtually every scene.
- Future director Nicholas Ray worked uncredited on the screenplay of Swing Parade of 1946; it was his only collaboration with the Three Stooges.
- The Stooges reused material they had performed with Ted Healy at MGM: the plumbing sequence was adapted from A Plumbing We Will Go and several waiter gags were borrowed from Beer and Pretzels.
