Topic: Idiots De Luxe (1945)

I agree w/ the Chief.  THIS is the Short that has always stood out to me re: the changes to Curly and what sadly was yet to follow.

Welcome to the board!

I make my case that IF A BODY MEETS A BODY is the film where it really starts in that thread.  Curly is not 1940 Curly here by any stretch of the imagination and hasn’t been for the past year or so.  I still say he’s a step better than the final twelve shorts here and BOOBY DUPES was filmed a week before IDIOTS DE LUXE.  BODY was filmed five months after this.

The film in production within these five months, ROCKIN’ IN THE ROCKIES will be reviewed in May.  No doubt I’ll discuss Curly’s health there as well and how it relates to the surrounding films.

Thanks, Metal …….. I've been here for years; but, haven't visited very much.

Once again I appear to be in the minority on this one.  I'm not a fan of Moe playing sick.  I think he just overdoes it too much.  That said, there is some good business in this short, but it's just kinda average for the Curly era.
