What an insult to the Three Stooges.
A few years ago I read a very insightful article about the Stooges in which the author - whose name I cannot recall - said that as kids we love Curly because he is silly and childlike. As teens we identify with Moe because he is exasperated as the boss who is never really obeyed very well. But as adults, we identify with Larry because he is gentle and just wants everyone to get along.
Good point. I can see that.
He was also the best cross-dresser of the three. He played the part to the hilt!
