I agree with you on all three!

I wish I could say yes, but have to admit the name's just a pseudonym. When I was a kid, my dad playfully called me Hiram (it wasn't my name, just a nickname he picked at random). Combining Hiram with Horwitz was an obvious choice (a bit of a tongue twister with Stooge heritage), so I went with it. Hopefully, it isn't causing any grave-rolling for Shemp, Moe, or Curly!

No, I'm sure they'd have been proud to have you as a relative!

--- Quote from: Bum on December 11, 2010, 07:39:19 PM ---I find the 1945-47 version of "Three Blind Mice" depressing because I associate it with the "sick Curly" shorts. It's an amazing coincidence that the first short on which it was used [If a Body Meets a Body] also happened to be the first short where Curly is drastically different in appearance/voice/mannerisms. Even when I hear it on the first few Shemp films, it still makes me think of Curly struggling the previous two years. When the newer recording appeared on the fourth or fifth Shemp, to me it almost signals the close of a dark era and the beginning of a happy new one [the "classic Shemp" period].

I agree with you on that. it was VERY ironic that IF A BODY MEETS A BODY was the first short to feature the slow rendition, and was also first "slowed" Curly short.

--- Quote from: Shemp_Diesel on December 08, 2010, 10:57:03 PM ---Yeah, Flat Foot Stooges was the first short to use the "Three Blind Mice" theme & Three Little Sew and Sews was the last short to use "Listen to the Mockingbird".

But for some odd reason, they went back to the "Listen To The Mockingbird" them for five more shorts befoe switching back to "Three Blind Mice."
