this film calls to mind many "swan song" finales for other great teams like Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, the Marx Brothers, etc. all disappointing but having a lot of "typical" stuff, enough to keep the viewer "going".
KOOK'S TOUR is a TOTAL curiosity...yes, conceived as a real feature, and reportedly with very nice cinematography, as the team travels North America, looking for the perfect spot to "retire". as one might expect, nothing works out...they work harder at not working! it appears that it was parceled out as connecting material for their cartoon series. since that series did have a few laughs, the flick can be considered a success! MOe made a movie cameo three years later; Larry was confined to a Nursing Home (look for a great interview on youtube from that period!); Joe D. appears to be the only fully retired Stooge > in "real" life!
