When Stooges go to court: Idiots Deluxe (1945)

This was waaaaaaaaaaaay before The People's Court, but could you picture the Three Stooges before a judge on that show?

"Idiots Deluxe" was released in the summer of 1945, and was the beginning of the end for Jerome "Curly" Howard, who had taken ill in the interim before this short was released. The boys are all alone in a courtroom with a judge, no jury, as Moe relays the tale of how Curly & Larry supposedly drove him crazy.....



Considering the current climate, an empty courtroom would work today, coupled with modern technology to allow a virtual jury to make the verdict instead of the judge (Vernon Dent).

Rating: B-.
