Queen of Outer Space also recycled many props and costumes, most prominently the C-57D crewmen's uniforms and Altaira's wardrobe from Forbidden Planet ( 1956 ), models, sets, and special effects from Bernds's World Without End ( 1956 ), the usual stock footage of an Atlas and a rocketship model used by The Bowery Boys in Paris Playboys ( 1954 ) that was co-written by Bernds and Ullman.

In the early 1920s there was considerable prestige for amateur operators to have commercial radio licenses, and Bernds was in a good position to get into broadcasting when he graduated in 1923, a year when radio stations began popping up all over Chicago.

As a result, Bernds feared that his directing days would be over as soon as they began if he released A Bird in the Head with a weak Curly as his first entry.

Edward Bernds worked for the McCollum unit, usually collaborating on scripts with Elwood Ullman.

Bernds directed Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, and company as though he was still working with the Stooges ; the Bernds efforts in the series have the most slapstick content.

Bernds and Ullman did make a film in 1955 called High Society — but theirs was a low-budget feature with The Bowery Boys.

Bernds graduated to dramatic features in the late 1950s, although he was reunited with the Three Stooges in the 1960s for their feature films, and the live-action portions of their TV cartoons.

Films like Monkey Businessmen ( in which Curly had to be coached by Moe on camera ), Micro-Phonies and A Bird in the Head were examples of Bernds factoring in the reality that Curly was no longer in his prime.

Ed Bernds, however, was lucky enough to capture the ailing Stooge on an " up " day when filming Three Little Pirates.

" I guess I should be thankful that Curly was in one of his ' up ' periods ," Bernds said later.
