For W.C. Fields fans. I never put two and two together until now. The "French" maid Curly flirts with throughout this short is Marjorie "Babe" Kane, the same actress who played W.C. Fields's daughter in THE DENTIST and THE PHARMACIST.
Dambit Gumby, I was fully armed to share Marjorie "B" Kane's small world crossover comedy credentials/photos (as I am a large W.C. Fields fan). Oh wells, you are the Grand Poohbah and I would have expected nothing less.
That aside, I have always loved this short...even more so since 2010. That's right, I was in charge of 25 square miles and 25 Enumerators for the 2010 census, then went through a few dozen masks while supervising a massive team of one...me...in 2020. Sadly, the stadiums were still closed, so I had no shot at a quick 100,000 people (so no dollar and a half...that's without the tax).
As I do not like to chew other peoples cabbage twice...um...yeah...I will share some favorite unmentioned bits. Moe's question 'what was your family decomposed of' has always been a favorite, and one I have re-purposed for decades. Then there is Moe's punch trilogy. His uncanny ability to sense whenever Curly is about to avail himself of liquid refreshment returns, followed by eye-banging Marjorie's heiny after she serves him the glass of punch...soon followed by attempting to spit it out on the floor. In fact, the entire 'punch arc' has always been a favorite Moe ment
.
This is definitely in my top 5.
