 A history of
the Three Stooges
This disc contains four classic Stooges shorts --
"Brideless Groom," "Disorder in the Court," "Sing a Song of Six Pants" and
"Malice in the Palace" (all of which are in the public domain) -- and 8
others that were done before the Columbia era and feature either one
Stooge or the Stooges with Ted Healy, who they worked with in their early
days. The Columbia shorts are great, especially "Disorder," a classic
Curly short (the other three are Shemp). Those who aren't familiar with
their early work will find some interesting stuff here, including several
routines that popped up later in the Columbia shorts. The quality on all
is as good as can be expected. But be aware that, since most of these
aren't the classic Columbia shorts, the Stooges, as seen here, are in
slightly different form from the familiar versions that came later. Still,
from a historical standpoint, this disc is invaluable, as several of these
shorts aren't available in complete form on DVD elsewhere, to my
knowledge. Other than the fact that "Nertsery Rhymes" is b/w instead of
color (as it was originally released), this disc is recommended for
Stooges fans who are interested in the team's history and their early
work. Another nice thing: It's over 3 1/2 hours long, so it's a nice value
for the price.
The Three
Stooges.The Early Years.
This DVD is great value for the price.Even
more worthwhile if your interested in film history.
Four of these
shorts are well known classics featuring either Curly or Shemp Howard as
the third Stooge.
Some of the other shorts on this disc feature members
of the Three Stooges in solo film before they came together as a
team.
A couple feature the full Stooges line-up with Ted Healy.
I
find the Ted Healy stuff very poor quality,but interesting if you are
interested in seeing how their early vaudeville performance would have
been like on stage.
poor quality
made up by rarities
Buy this if you are interested in Ted Healy's
productions from really early Stooge days. If not, skip it. The quality
(audio and video) of the DVD is shabby...hence, the low price. There are
only 4 of 12 shorts really worth owning, available on other, higher
quality products. ... Read more
