I watched "Time Out For Rhythm" also. This was my second viewing. I had seen it many years ago on an old copy of a copy VHS tape. It seems to me that I liked it better this first time around, I'm guessing because the Stooges performance was something new to me back then. I did think the Stooges did a good job for the time they were given but their characters did not seem to mesh very well with this plotline and main cast. There was very little interaction between the Stooges and any of the other cast members. Mostly they just stared at the Stooges routines and grinned. Comparing it to the similar film "Swing Parade of 1946", I enjoyed "Swing" more so due to the fact that the Stooges just seemed to be a better fit and I liked the storyline better, even though Curly's energy level was down in "Swing". Also in "Rhythm", with the lone exception of "Kitty", I didn't think any of the other characters/actors had any real charisma. "Kitty" was awesome and I wish the romance angle with Danny had more depth. I think it would have fleshed out the film a lot more and built up the drama. That "Frances Lewis" chick, arrrghhh!!!, I just wished someone had told her to get lost!!!! Haha! They needed to play up her villanous side a bit more. She came off really annoying and totally selfish but it seemed like they still wanted her character to appear to be likeable.
Well, that is how I saw it. I'd still buy it if it were ever released on dvd just to have it as a Stooge collectable.
