Curly's best and worst performances of the 1945-46 shorts?


What would you say was Curly's best and worst performances from the 1945-46 shorts?

reply

BEST: "Three Little Pirates".

WORST: "Rhythm and Weep". It is so painfully obvious that at least three of the gags done by Larry were originally meant for Curly.

I thought Curly seemed slightly more animated in "Rhythm and Weep" than he did on shorts like "Monkey Businessmen", "Three Loan Wolves" and "Half Wits Holiday"

OK, so maybe he was vibrant in the pie gag, "Swingeroo Joe", and as a "ballerina". But the auctioneer gag, the clarinet gag, and the ever famous watch gag were curly meant for Clearly....I mean clearly meant for Curly!
