YMMV / Cuckoo On A Choo Choo

• Broken Base: This is the short in which Larry is playing a Marlon Brando-esque character who stole a passenger car off a moving train, just so his girlfriend's sister can get her rich drunken boyfriend Shemp to propose, because then they can get married. Unfortunately Shemp is in love with Carey the giant canary who exists only in his booze-sodden dreams, and who is played by some poor soul in an utterly hideous suit. And Moe is a railroad detective in love with Larry's girlfriend's sister (the one they want to get hitched to Shemp) who finds them and tries to get rid of Shemp so he can marry the sister. There is no middle ground on this one, every Stooges fan either thinks it's terrific or sees it as the worst thing they ever did.
