and Curly Joe, The Three Stooges-Greatest Hits&Rarities contains four
Stooge classic shorts-Malice in the Palace, Sing a Song of Six Pants,
Disorder in the Court and Brideless Groom. Additional outrageous rarities

hosting; Knife of the Party, a little-known 1934 musical comedy starring
Shemp Howard in a rare role as the 'lead stooge' of FOUR smacked-around
Stooges; Hollywood on Parade, a 1933 short cited by historians as Curly's
first appearance as a Stooge in a film. Hollywood on Parade stars Jimmy
Durante, Ben Turpin and Ted Healy 7 his Stooges. The DVD also contains

Editorial Review
A four-pack of mid-'30s Three Stooges shorts, with enough concentrated
nyuk-nyuks to satisfy fans. Two of the shorts are from their first year
with Columbia, 1934. "Men in Black" has the boys as residents in a very
unlucky hospital. It's nonstop mayhem, featuring an unorthodox approach to
healing (the words "Give 'em the anesthetic" usually means a mallet will
be applied to skull) and a good running gag about an ill-advised glass
door. This one was nominated for the best short subject Oscar. "Punch
Drunks" is an all-time Stooges gem, with Curly as Moe's new boxing
discovery--but he can only achieve his fighting fury when Larry plays "Pop
Goes the Weasel" on the violin.
From 1937, "The Sitter Downers" has three brides for three stooges, but
their honeymoon is delayed by the building of a house, in typical Stooges
style. Curly is wound up especially tight in this one, and it has some
primo sight gags about home construction. "Playing the Ponies" navigates a
zig-zag Stooges storyline, taking them from restaurant (Curly fixes an
appetizing filet of sole) to horse track. It has a classic Stooges hand
jive, although it shows how slapdash their shtick could get.
The DVD has Columbia's "ChromaChoice" colorized gimmick, which simply
means easy toggling between the original (well preserved) black-and-white
shorts and the colorized versions. The colorized images are sensibly
rendered, but they still have that washed-out paleness they've always
had--eggshell greens and light browns abound. So real Stooges fans can
ignore the color, and ponder the eternal questions: Why was Moe so angry?
Why is a bald man named Curly? What was the deal on Larry? And "Why don't
catfish have kittens?" --Robert Horton

Editorial Review
A quartet of Three Stooges shorts (three new to DVD) make up this solid
disc, all with mid-period Curly in woo-woo-woo form. "Violent is the Word
for Curly" somehow morphs the boys from gas-station attendants to European
college professors. Not only does it feature Curly roasting on a spit, but
the Stooges instruct the students of Mildew College for Women in the
intricacies of "Swinging the Alphabet," a memorable nonsense song. "You
Nazty Spy" is the Stooges' answer to Duck Soup and The Great
Dictator, as a cabal of businessmen install Moe as the dictator of
Moronika. With an accidental mustache and jibbering German, Moe does a
convincing Hitler. (But didn't he always?)
"No Census, No Feeling" is a rangy, so-so bit that begins with a lame
premise about the Stooges as census takers (it was 1940, after all) and
ends up at a football game. But the best gag has Curly mixing up a noxious
fruit punch. You know "An Ache in Every Stake" will be a goodie from the
moment Moe and Larry attempt to remove a block of ice from around Curly's
head by using a chisel and mallet. Its centerpiece is a variation on the
flight of stairs from Laurel and Hardy's "The Music Box," but Curly does
nicely stuffing a turkey, too.
Stooged & Confoosed is presented with Columbia's
"ChromaChoice" device, which allows for easy toggling between the original
black-and-white shorts (which appear in great shape) and a colorized
version. The colorized images are sensibly rendered, but they still have
that washed-out paleness they've always had--eggshell greens and light
browns abound. Stooges purists will stick to black-and-white, the better
to appreciate the subtleties of a cheese grater being scraped across
Curly's face. --Robert Horton
