Moronikally Marvelous!, 30 October 2000
Author: Adirondack from Michigan

I'm a life-long 3 Stooges fan whose favorite stooge is Shemp. Curly, however is my second favorite. Moe and Larry are probably tied for third. Moe looks AND (for all I know) sounds (when he yells in his version of German) like Hitler. My favorite magic words of all time (Ikkle dikkle bikkle mik) are in this film. They are spoken by the same girl who played Sherry in the Stooges short with Curly when the boys pose as Doctors Ziller, Zellar and Zoller. She was also one of Nell's Belles in the Stooges Short with Curly called "Rockin' Through the Rockies". You will never find any film that makes fun of World War II as funny as the Stooge World War II films. How's this for a funny thought: replace the stormtroopers in the Star Wars movies with the ones in this film! What would Darth Vader say?!
