Emil Sitka ~

The Fourth Stooge
        "The most important actor in most Stooges films, besides the Stooges themselves, was the sharp-nosed, wide-eyed Emil Sitka... His presence was such a mainstay of the operation that many thought of him as an undeclared 'fourth Stooge.'"

                                       -Moe Feinberg, Larry Fine's brother

                                         Larry The Stooge In the Middle

Feature Films
          Although we list six titles here, Emil Sitka actually worked in only four feature films with The Three Stooges:
 
          Emil appears in the Stooge shorts compilation STOP! LOOK! AND LAUGH! (1960) through the use of "archival footage," which are scenes from an earlier previously-released production.

          And through the use of "interview footage" he appears in the Stooge retrospective THE FUNNIEST GUYS IN THE WORLD (1983). So that makes for a total of six Stooge feature films that included Emil Sitka, as listed below. Click titles for more details.
