Curly with a tin star ..........., 2 June 2006
6/10
Author: revdrcac from United States

This Curly short features a case of mistaken identity, with the boys mistaken for famous lawmen ..... with the resulting chaos leading to a hilarious conclusion.

Moe ,Larry & Curly take on the bad guys with the inept hilarity that made them a laugh riot on screen. While Curly was not at his best in this one, his genius still shines through. Like other great comedians, he can crack you up with a simple, silent mannerism ( as he does here)

Knuckleheads of all ages will enjoy this western farce.Some of the Stooges later shorts were of varying quality ..... this is one worth watching. Cowboy hi-jinks run amuck !!!
