Product Description

From Amazon.com

"Heavenly Daze" (1948, short number 109 in the Columbia series) begins unusually on a supernatural plane. Shemp seeks admittance into Heaven but is told by a St. Peter type (played by Moe in a long silvery beard) that he must reform the other two Stooges before he can enter. There is some good fun as he frightens not only Larry and Moe, who have inherited his $140 and are planning a swindle, but the now-unacceptable black butler. It would have been better, perhaps, had Shemp been invisible to viewers as well as the Stooges, but that would have called for expensive special effects.

"The Ghost Talks" (1949, number 113) has the boys in a haunted castle that has actual ghosts, the chief of which is the spirit of Peeping Tom. Here, in a flashback, we see he did not look on purpose at Lady Godiva, but his punishment was swift and terrible: a pie in the face. When a very bored sounding Godiva shows up in a bathing suit and rides off with the suit of armor inhabited by Tom, pies from the past end this uneven film.

"Hokus Pokus" (1949, number 115) has the boys waiting hand and foot (and foot in mouth) on a beautiful blonde (Mary Ainslee) who is in a wheelchair to defraud an insurance company. Working in a theater to help her out, the boys run into a hypnotist who tries to get publicity by getting them out on a flagpole to dance. With obviously painted backdrops, there are no thrills; but their efforts to get back in do tie in with the original plot, which is not always the case in this series. --Frank Behrens

Some of Shemp's Best Jun 12 2003
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
This tape is a must have with all three shorts being memorable ones. Heavenly Daze is hilarious thanks to Shemp. The first time I saw this I was in High School and remember having cramps from laughing so hard. Ghost Talks is a classic and a must see. Hokus Pokus is pretty good with Shemp hypnotizing Moe. This short has Some of the best animal impersonations I have ever seen.

Ghosts, ghosts, and flagpole walking Feb 23 2002

HEAVENLY DAZE (1948) - An instant Shemp classic! This one is in my top five favorite Shemp shorts. HEAVENLY DAZE was made when Shemp rejoined the stooges (his debut short being FRIGHT NIGHT).

THE GHOST TALKS (1949) - A very funny short! The stooges, as movers, come face to face with poltergeists when they're hired to clear out a haunted castle.

HOKUS POKUS (1949) - A hilarious stooge short! The scene where Shemp is trying to set up the table is very funny! The flagpole scene is the highlight.

HEAVENLY DAZE, THE GHOSTS TALKS, and HOKUS POKUS: 3 well-done and very funny stooge shorts. A must-own for every stooge fan (especially Shemp fans!).

My favorite short, an average short, and a good short. Nov 8 2001
Format:VHS Tape
HEAVENLY DAZE (1948) is my all-time favorite Three Stooges film. It starts with Shemp in Heaven learning that he can't get in until he reforms Moe and Larry. Moe is in a lawyer's office diving up their inheritance from Shemp between him and Larry. Lawyer I. Fleecem (Vernon Dent) is his usual funny self. Moe and Larry spend all of Shemp's inheritance to rent a fancy apartment, get a butler, and are soon trying to sell a phony invention (a fountain pen that writes under whipped cream) to a rich family. Then comes the best part. Shemp, in an invisible spirit, turn the whipped cream machine on high and cream flies out of the machine and lands on everyone's faces. But Shemp wakes up and finds out he's been dreaming on a burning bed (it's burning because he's been smoking in bed). I believe that this is the funniest film The Three Stooges have ever made. The film ends with Shemp getting a pie in his own face. A++ for this short.

THE GHOST TALKS (1949) on the other hand was quite weak. It's a rather strange Stooges film. the only thing that saves this film is the stooges being hit with pies through the window. Rating- C-

HOKUS POKUS (1949) on the better side makes up for the previous short on this tape, THE GHOST TALKS. The flagpole scene was excellently done and not weak. The only part that was too long was when Shemp was setting up the table. But that doesn't take away the enjoyment of the rest of the film. A-

HEAVENLY DAZE is the best short ever made. I recommend it to all fans of the Three Stooges.
