Strange Goodbye
Saying that Columbia Pictures wasn’t good at goodbyes would be an understatement. The Three Stooges completed their contract with the studio after shooting their last short film in 1957, Sappy Bull Fighters, but they would continue to have their films released throughout the next year and a half.

Even after being under contract for over two decades, they didn’t get a formal goodbye or any celebration at all from the company. In fact, once their contract was up, Moe wanted to go back to the studio just to say goodbye to some of the executives he had been working with for years, and they actually refused to let him on the premises since he no longer had a studio pass. How rude!
