Movie Connections:

Spoofs The Music Man (1962)

Pretty good for a western, but not the best stooge movie

I thought it was a good stooge movie with Curly Joe, but their westerns have always been my least favorite of their shorts or movies. This movies funnier than any Besser short at least. This is still the best western comedy I've ever seen. I think the movie would be more entertaining and make less sense if Adam West was Batman in this movie. If you are a stooges fan then you'll love this movie.
