After His Stroke
Harry Cohn is the president and chief of production at Columbia Pictures and is known to be the main man who helped get the Three Stooges to where they were. However, he’s also known to be a disliked person. After Curly had strokes, Cohn made the weakened comedian keep on working.
Difficult Times
In a lot of ways, The Three Stooges greatly appealed to the common man. They were the perfect escape from the harsh economic challenges that a lot of Americans were dealing with during the Great Depression. In addition, as the tensions between social classes were rising, The Three Stooges’ ongoing antics were commentary for this as well.
