The only feature film with Joe DeRita that contains a Stooge eye-poke. The boys later deleted the gag from their routine, as angry mothers began to protest that children were poking their eyes out.
Why do you think the Stooges were not given the opportunity to do feature films in their hay day? Rockin in the Rockies was not nearly as good as their shorts.

I think Harry Cohn was trying to suppress the Stooges knowledge of just how valuable they were to Columbia especially in the early years and if they had done feature films they just might have found out. Rockin' was a pretty weak vehicle for the Stooges and was not representative of the work they could do with the right creative team behind them.
