My Take

Larry Fine is proof that the middle of a comedy act is its load-bearing wall. Flanked by louder Stooges, he absorbed slaps, kept the rhythm, and made chaos legible, a reactive style of comedy that rarely gets credit because it looks like doing nothing. The detail I treasure is that he was a trained violinist from Philadelphia; that musician's timing is all over his work, every flinch landing on the beat. Half a century after his death in 1975, the shorts still get laughs, which is the only review that matters. Every great ensemble owes something to the man in the middle, and Larry wrote the manual.
