    Seeing Curly sick makes the film weak and even morbid

    I understand that the Stooge films were a way of making a living for all involved, but I really think someone should've looked at the dailies and seen that Curly was very sick, and either halted production or sought Shemp as a replacement sooner. But all I could think while I was watching this film was "Poor Curly! He looks so miserable!", which is the last thing you want to be thinking while watching a Three Stooges film. True, the Stooges are always hurting each other (especially during the Curly era), but you want to think of them as cartoon characters who are never really impacted. You want to see them get up after being knocked down, brush themselves off, and move on to more pratfalls, just as strong as ever. But when Curly is incapable of doing that, the productions lose their trademark sense of humor.

    He's the missing Link!

    Enjoying "If a Body Meets a Body" is something that's much easier if you've never seen "The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case" as this film is essentially a remake of this excellent Laurel and Hardy short. Now this isn't saying it's bad...it's just not especially original.

    The story begins with Moe realizing that Curly is the missing Link. In other words, after the death of the millionaire, Bob O. Link, Curly is potentially in line to inherit a fortune. But when they arrive at the Link mansion, they walk into a murder mystery...and they might be the next victims.

    Aside from the stupid gag involving the parrot climbing inside a very fake looking skull, the jokes aren't too bad here. There's a bit less slapping and stupidity in this one, which I appreciate, though some fans of the Stooges might dislike this. Worth seeing if not highly original.

    Curly Q. Link...

    Well, I'm sure very ardent stooge fan knows the story behind this particular short. The first one where it's painfully obvious Curly was not his old self--given that he suffered a stroke or possibly multiple strokes when this 2-reeler was filmed.

    Whatever the case may be, anyone with eyes can see that Curly is definitely "off." And yet--in spite of that--I still like this one. One plus to the "Sick Curly" era is that this is when Larry's character started getting more development for the first time in years, and old "porcupine" really steps up his game during this time period.

    Plus, even Curly at half-strength still beats most comedians in their prime & old Jerry was still capable of getting laughs--i.e. that hilarious backwards jump he does in reaction to poor Mr. Link being murdered on the very spot he was standing.

    If a Body Meets a Body!

    This is one of Curly's last short subjects but it is very good.Theodore Lurch is very good and of course the Stooges are as well.The stuff that happens in the room where the Stooges sleep is hilarious!This spooky short is very funny and a good one to watch around Halloween!

    HE CAN SPENd The millions on doctOR bills

    I always had a very low opinion of this one;it's been slightly softened by repeated viewings but t his is still an inferior remake of THE LAUREL&HARDY MURDER CASE(1930)----and that one was ruined by turning out to be a dream.

    The Tex Avery cartoon WHO KILLED WHO?

    No doubt re-activated interest in Fred Kelsey;whose casting here as the "house dick" is t he film's one stroke of genius.

    Moe and Larry are reader to kick Curly out of their crummy flat for serving "horseshoe soup" until they find out he might be in line to collect millions. They arrive in t he middle of a driving thunderstorm(when don't they?) and find out they and other relatives are staying indefinitely until the Uncle's murder is solved/

    Some funny scenes at the end where corpses keep turning in the hiding places the Stooges pick for themselves.

    It isn't the creepy butler but the creepy housemaid(in drag) who is guilty.

    And yes,somebody says "I hope you have a nice,LONG sleep". Sadly,Curly looks like he IS.

    • Anecdotes
      This was made shortly after Curly Howard recovered from another stroke. You can see that his speech is at times slurred and his normally lightning-quick reactions are slowed down considerably. His health continued to deteriorate over the next two years, and with few exceptions--Micro Phonies (1945) being one--it became more and more noticeable in his work. He made his last short in 1947 and died in 1952.

      When the Stooges are coming down the stairs and crash into the maid, it is obvious that it is not Curly, but his stunt double.

      Moe Pink: Didn't you say you had an uncle?

      Curly Q. Link: Yeah, uncle Bob O. Link, but the family didn't speak to him. He had millions.

      Moe Pink: That's it! We're rich.

      Larry Mink: We're filthy with dough!

      Moe Pink: You're filthy without it.
