Bottom Line: The Best Stooge of them all. 10/10
Although the evidence of Curly's failing health is visible in his face and voice, his performance is amazing, and it is probably the last glimpse of the old Curly. Some fans think that "A Bird in the Hand" is the last great Curly short, but his coarse voice and slow movement are just too difficult to watch.
Fortunately for Stooges fans, Curly was near the top of his game for "Micro Phonies," because it is one of the best that the trio made. With new director Edward Bernds at the helm, the film is put together well, with a good mixture of slapstick, music, and dialogue.
Observant viewers will notice that Curly is lip-syncing most of the actual words to "Voices of Spring" (which was actually sung by Christine McIntyre). The Italian aerie that Gino Carrado is trying to sing as the boys throw cherries into his mouth is "Vieni Sul Mar." And during excerpt from the recording of the Sextet from Lucia, while there is considerable clowning around,, you can actually see Larry and Curly lip-syncing many of the correct words of the their parts of the aria --- in Italian! This isn't surprising to Stooges fans, as all three were known to be perfectionists who took their craft, slapstick or not, seriously.
It should also be known that Moe was a good bass-baritone singer who was in casual quartets. Larry was a studied violinist and pianist, but he wasn't known as a singer.
Overall, "Micro Phonies" is one of the better Stooges works, and it deserves a look if you find it on TV or the internet.

- QuizWhen Christine McIntyre, as "Alice", is singing "The Voices of Spring" in the radio studio as the film opens, that actually is McIntyre's voice you hear--she was a trained opera singer and had a beautiful soprano voice.
- BlooperWhen Signor Spumoni arrives at the party he tells Mrs. Bixby he can't play his fiddle because the Spaniards busted it. In fact, Spumoni busted the fiddle over Señor Gusto's head during the melee at the recording studio.

[making a mock broadcast]
Moe: Use Gritto, radio friends, the soap that gives your hands that dishpan look. How will the old man know you've been working... if your hands -don't- have that dishpan look, hmm?
[chuckles]
Moe: Put a box of Gritto in a glass of water, then listen to it fizz...
[Larry and Curly honk a large horn. Moe is irked]
Moe: Dopes. Remember, Gritto spelled sideways, is 'ot-tri-gruh-guh-guhhh'.
