Over the course of their 24 years at Columbia Pictures, the Stooges would occasionally be cast as separate characters. This course of action always worked against the team; author Jon Solomon concluded "when the writing divides them, they lose their comic dynamic." In addition to this split occurring in "Triple Crossed" (as well as "He Cooked His Goose", the film it originated from), the trio also played separate characters in "Rockin' in the Rockies", "Cuckoo on a Choo Choo", "Gypped in the Penthouse", "Flying Saucer Daffy" and "Sweet and Hot".
