Product Description

From Amazon.com

A quartet of Three Stooges shorts, with a 3-to-1 balance tilting toward Shemp over Curly. The 1936 "Disorder in the Court" is definitely an honor-roll Stooges entry, with Curly providing testimony in a murder case. Note to prosecutors: Do not bring a vise into the same courtroom as Curly Howard. The other shorts shift to the late 1940s, adding (and highlighting) returning Howard brother Shemp in place of Curly. "Brideless Groom" has Shemp inheriting a half million dollars if he can get married in a few hours. As Moe observes, this should be a snap: "When Shemp pours on the charm, no dame can resist." Ooof.

"Sing a Song of Six Pants" is a lesser outing, with the boys running a tailor shop and getting mixed up with gangsters. It does provide an illustration of that Stooges truism: when a beartrap is located anywhere nearby, the law of probabilities favors an eventual convergence with Moe's backside. "Malice in the Palace" takes place in an Arabian café, where Moe, Larry, and Shemp are waiters. The best sequence has the boys and their diners convinced that Larry has sacrificed a dog and cat for the evening's entree.

This Fox DVD offers colorized versions of the shorts, but like the 2004 Columbia colorized discs, it also features the original black-and-white versions. The fake color looks pretty bad, with the lurid shades of the Arabian nights episode especially glaring. Stick with the improved black-and-white versions of these familiar shorts. Wraparound introductions are provided by Mike Nelson and a couple of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew--they're hit and miss, but their mockery of poor, sputtering Shemp Howard is just a bit cruel. --Robert Horton

5.0 out of 5 stars THE STOOGES IN COLOR... COME ON!, Jun 11 2006

By	THE CRITIC "MOVIE MANIAC" (Windsor, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

The "Three Stooges" in color, come on! The stooge purist in me say's absolutely no way to the colorized shorts ever. But I must admit that after watching this DVD I have warmed up to the "Three Stooges" in color, just a little. The studio did a great job with picture quality on this one and the price is very reasonable. You'll get four classic "Three Stooges" shorts in all new color versions plus the same four shorts restored and remastered in glorious black & white. Also included on the DVD are trailers, wraparounds by the mystery science 3000 crew and an Easter egg. I didn't particularly care for the wraparounds or the mystery science 3000 guys because I've never been a fan of them. The same four shorts presented on this DVD have been released many times over the years in the public domain, but I've never seen them look so good. Nyuk! Nyuk!
