Product Description

From Amazon.com

This particular video may be unique in the Columbia Stooges series in that it features both Curly and Shemp episodes. "Wee Wee Monsieur" (1937, short number 29) starts off promisingly with the Three Stooges in Paris living a La Bohèv;me sort of existence: Curly a painter, Moe a sculptor, Larry a musician. They escape an outraged landlord and policeman by unwittingly signing up for the French Foreign Legion and wind up having to rescue their commander from a palace using Santa Claus disguises (for no apparent reason). A gratuitous lion shows up again, this time with Curly's bark being worse than the beast's roar. A middle-of-the-road effort.

"Pardon My Clutch" (1947, number 105) is practically a remake of Laurel & Hardy's "Perfect Day." The boys are married in this one (!) and Shemp needs a rest cure, facilitated (they think) by a friend selling them his car for $900. After a series of mishaps concerned with loading the car and getting a flat tire, a self-styled movie producer (Emil Sitka) offers to buy the car for $2000. Although the material works better for L&H, Shemp's reactions give this film some distinction.

"Fiddlers Three" (1947, number 107) is relatively juvenile, even for this series. We get what amounts to a British pantomime version of three nursery rhymes--Stooges style, of course--and hear Larry play his violin (at which he was actually quite good). The "rescue the Princess from the dungeon" plot is not handled with much imagination, although the "swords through the magic box" oldie is not at all badly done. The reference to the Madison Avenue "B.O." ads dates this film if nothing else does. --Frank Behrens

Pretty good. April 4 2002
Format:VHS Tape
WEE WEE MONSIEUR (1938)- Has some funny moments. The Stooges dressed up as Santas makes for a good laugh. I think every comedy team has made a film about the foreign legion. Curly has some great lines, especially dressed as Santa. After Moe slaps him, "Just for that, no toys".

PARDON MY CLUTCH (1948)- A pretty good short. Shemp is always funny when he's sick (see also SCRAMBLED BRAINS). There's a great scene where their tire rolls into a garage and the Stooges fight a mechanic, who thinks it's his tire, for it.

FIDDLERS THREE (1948)- The best of these three. Vernon Dent is very funny as a king. The Stooges are great when they're back in time. This short is great, and worth the price of this collection.

This is a nice collection. I would give it a higher rating if the quality didn't come out so dark.

PARDON MY WEE WEE, FIDDLERS July 6 2001
By Stooge
Format:VHS Tape
WEE WEE MONSIEUR (1938) - An okay short, although nothing special. The Stooges are living in France, and after escaping their crabby landlord (Harry Semels) whom they owe months of rent to, they end up joining the Foreign Legion. An pretty funny short, but could've been better.

PARDON MY CLUTCH (1948) - An okay short, although this is just too steady, and doesn't match Edward Bernds' usual manic, fast-paced shorts. There should've been some scenes with them camping - they never get one mile away from their house before the short's even over. Although Emil Sitka as the looney at the end was hilarious.

FIDDLERS THREE (1947) - Somewhat copies off of Edward Bernds' SQUAREHEADS OF THE ROUND TABLE, which was made exactly before this short, and was more creative and funnier. Here, most of the supporting players repeat their roles from SQUAREHEADS, and this was really made just to take advantage of that castle set from the movie THE BANDIT OF SHERWOOD FOREST that Columbia had left over for a while. The nursery rhymes scenes are especially awkward and unrelated to the plot.

Farily mediocre tape.

The three Stooges episodes on this tape "Pardon My Clutch", "Wee Wee Monsoir" & "Fiddler's Three" are among three of my favorite Stooges episodes. In "Fiddler's Three" Larry shows off his talents as a violinist, while Moe & Shemp "inadvertantly" mess him up. In "Wee Wee . . .", the three guys (this time with Curly) find themselves in the French Forign Legion while fleeing this guy they "poked too much fun at" only to find out that their commander is the guy they were JUST poking fun at. All around good fun.
