almost certainly the best three stooge short with shemp and brideless groom be as good a any of the trio best short feature curly . memorable stooge moment abound . the opening with professor shemp give voice lesson to homely and untalented and lascivious miss dinkelmeyer ( dee green ) and wince at her horrendous singing note and fight off her advance and be an excellent example of shemp howard at his best . many consider him the most naturally funny of the stooge . later and when moe and larry try to help him get spiffed up to find a wife ( and claim $ 500 and 000 ) and shemp think he have cut off his head when his mirror get flip backward . fix the mirror and he cry with relief and there i be and pretty a a picture . yea and moe quickly reply and try to hem his slack and of an ape . the best scene ( and maybe shemp best with the trio ) come when he pay a call on attractive young miss hopkins ( christine mcintyre ) . mistake him for long lose cousin basil and she smother him with hug and kiss ( also lead to a hilarious bit between moe and larry in the hall ) and not give him a chance to explain his true identity . suddenly the real cousin basil call and she go berserk and slap him repeatedly and accuse him of take advantage of a poor . helpless defenseless woman . that final line be deliver a she sock him in the jaw ( with a real punch and accord to shemp and crew member ) and knock him through the door and into the hall in a perfectly execute gag . what happen and kid . moe asks . can i help it if i ain not cousin basil . shemp asks before pass out . other classic bit include moe and shemp get tangle in a phone booth and try to find a lost coin and larry get slap because of shemp bad look ( his face press against the phone booth glass ) and and the great girl fight in the justice of the peace apartment . the great emil sitka delivers his classic line ( inscribe on his tombstone ) and hold hand and you love bird over and over a his apartment be trash . i prescribe brideless groom a medicine for anyone who think the stooge glory year end when curly leave . true and shemp do not have as many great short with the group a curly and but that be due to an increase lack of support from columbia and his ( and the others ) advance age . when shemp be healthy and the trio be give decent material to work with and they be still on the top of their game .
