A true gem, but $45.00? Really?
This is the extra set that comes with the big box, sold as an individual piece for those of us Stooge fans who already bought the separate sets. While no one can argue with the plethora of content inside, I have to say that $45 for this set is a bit excessive, as most of the box sets themselves can be had for less. I am grateful that it was sold as a lone set and not just a box exclusive, and I thank Sony for that, but the price is a bit out of line. Thanks again, Sony, for the set. But the cost deserves a firm eye-poking!
Add 2 stars for these seldom-seen comedies being revived. The prints are gorgeous!
Vintage-comedy fans will be sorely tempted to grab this new Stooge set. All of the "third Stooges" are featured here: Curly Howard (seen in one feature film), Shemp Howard (as a supporting player in five shorts, and starring in nine more), Joe Besser (in all 10 of his 1949-56 Columbia shorts), and Joe DeRita (in his four 1946-48 shorts, as well as his first Three Stooges feature).
The Curly Howard contribution is unfortunately one of the Stooges' weakest films: ROCKIN' IN THE ROCKIES, a Western-themed musical that has Moe in a character role as "Shorty" and Curly and Larry as a mildly amusing two-man team. Curly is in declining health here, so there isn't much sparkle. Completists will be glad to see more Curly footage, but casual fans of Curly may shrug their shoulders at this one.
Many Stooge fans have come to appreciate the creative comedy of Shemp Howard in recent years, and this assortment won't disappointment them. It features almost every two-reeler Shemp...
