John Landis on HAVE ROCKET WILL TRAVEL

This cheap but popular sci fi spoof was  the first Columbia feature for  the Stooges, who had contemplated retirement until the galvanic response to  the release of the Stooges shorts  on nationwide tv in 1958 brought them back into the limelight. The  boys accidentally  travel to Venus and encounter a giant fire-belching spider and a talkative unicorn. Moe retired the eye-poking after this one, averting a blindness epidemic on the playground. This was the first Stooge appearance by Curly Joe DeRita (replacing Joe Besser, who replaced Shemp, who replaced Curly)as the third Stooge.
