Busy Buddies is not considered one of the Stooges' better films. By late 1943, the team had been making endless public appearances in support of the war effort. The demanding schedule began to take it toll on Curly in particular, whose childlike facial features began to show a few creases. Curly had just turned 40 in October 1043.
