Ce commentaire est de: Three Stooges, the [12] - Stop,Look and Laugh (DVD)
Following their successful return to films at Columbia Pictures."The Three Stooges"were invitied to make a sequel to":"Have Rocket Will Travel"but for less monies and they were not to be given any creative control over their next film.Moe nixed the deal and the boys left for 20th Century Fox(To appear in the forgetable:"Snow White & The Three Stooges!")and to create their own studio:Normany Productions with Moe's Son In Law:Norman Maurer as their guiding genius.When Columbia couldn't get the team to make another movie? They simply put together scenes from old "Three Stooges"Shorts from the 1930's and 40's:Starring Moe,Larry & Curly.And they hired Ventriloquist/Entertainer/Cartoon VO performer:Paul Winchell,"The Marquis Chimps"and NYC based Kids tv wraparound host/performer:"Officer Joe"Bolton(At the time that this film went into production."Officer Joe"was still hosting "The Three Stooges'Funhouse!"Weekday evenings on WPIX TV Ch.11 in NYC.The movie wasn't even filmed at Columbia Pix' in Hollywood,Ca.It was filmed at The 20th Century Fox Studios on NYC's Upper West Side.)and the released:"Stop,Look & Laugh!"to the movie going public.Columbia had hoped that "The Stooges'"Fans would love this compilation.But this film is nothing more than a feature film like tv comedy special.With the boys making guest appearances by proxiy.Mr.Winchell's narrations are forgetable to say the least and "The Cinderella"Spoof that features "The Marquis Chimps"(with the voices of the chimps provided by Ms.June Foray)is also a waiste of time and talent.Even "Officer Joe's"cameo in this mess does little to endear this piece of Hollywoodized film comedy fans and Stooge Devoutees.To those fans of "The Three Stooges",Paul Winchell and "Officer Joe"? Please don't wasite your monies and buy this video.It's Not worth the money.Kevin S.Butler.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Puppetry, July 31 2003
By A Customer
I love this movie because I love Paul Winchell and the Art of Puppetry and ventriliqiolism (ok i can't spell). It is just hilarious. I wasn't a fan of the Stooges, but this movie made me one.

Ce commentaire est de: Three Stooges, the [12] - Stop,Look and Laugh (DVD)
I've read some very harsh (and probably deserved) criticisms of "Stop! Look! and Laugh!". I suppose to really enjoy a little exploitation film like this, you'd have to know about the background. You see, when the Stooges had a comeback in 1959, former Stooge directors Jules White and Harry Romm pieced together clips from some very funny Stooge comedies with Curly with some scenes with Paul Winchell and his dummies (Knucklhead Smiff and Jerry Mahoney). If you didn't know that beforehand, I can imagine being very betrayed by this film. But I kinda liked it.
I thought the Stooge clips, while edited and given strange new music, were as amusing as ever, and I was especially surprised by the Paul Winchell scenes, which were pretty darn funny. The only real flaw of this film is the Marquis Chimps' rendition of Cinderella (which comes near the end of the film).
The DVD presents "Stop! Look! And Laugh!" in its original 1.85:1 widescreen aspect ratio. The Paul Winchell and Marquis Chimps scenes look very clear and sharp, with only minor scratches. The Stooges scens are obviously slightly scratchier, but look very above average (some of them look better than they did on seperate DVDs, uncut).
As a special feature, the 1946 comedy "A Bird in the Head" is included. While a very sickly looking Curly Howard does not give one of his better performances, the short is well crafted and has some very funny moments. It looks remarkably clear and almost free of scratches.
A theatrical trailer (which can be seen on Anchor Bay's "Three Stooges Greatest Hits and Rarities") or some production notes would have been nice, but other than that, this is a very nice package.
