Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
"Movie Maniacs" (1936), the Three Stooges' 13th Columbia short, is one of their better efforts. It spoofs movies and, as Moe puts it, the thousands who know nothing about making them. It also gives us a wonderful chance to see the vaudeville routine with Curly in drag and Larry as the debonair suitor, not to mention Moe's method of teaching acting by having Larry and Curly manipulate a couple of actors like hand puppets. But like so many of their other shorts, the weak ending has them simply running away when found out to be phonies.
"Dutiful But Dumb" (1941, short #54) has a feeble plot, but it does have the classic confrontation of Curly with a very fresh oyster stew and also being a one-man band inside of a radio. In this film, he takes on the Harpo Marx ability to come up with a convenient, albeit outlandish, prop from out of his jacket. When a firing squad officer grants Curly a last smoke, he produces a two-foot cigar. When trapped within the radio, he happens to have all sorts of musical instruments to draw upon.
In "Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise" (1939, #42), Curly enjoys the supernatural power to have his wishes granted in a perfectly ordinary (though highly coincidental) way. This short has an actual plot, with a beginning, middle, and end, as the boys try to help a widow and her three lovely daughters regain a deed to the oil-filled land she had just sold to the baddies at $50 an acre.
Because these shorts are presented out of chronological order, you will hear the same joke in two of them. Moe: "What's your name, so I can tell your mother?" Curly: "My mother already knows my name." --Frank Behrens

The 3 Stooges at their absolute finest! 3 Curlys; need i say more? Probably not, but the transfer is superb, and its a genuine Columbia Tristar movie. Enjoy! LOL stuff!

For those who want a bit more than a television commercial to understand why the Three Stooges are priceless, the trio of comedy shorts the boys made for Columbia collected on this videotape can help make the case:
"Movie Maniacs" is a short from 1936 that starts with the Stooges stowing away on a train bound for Hollywood. There are a couple of good routines involving making breakfast and ironing their clothes before the boys arrive at Carnation Pictures are mistaken for studio executives. ... Read More

Movie Maniacs (1936)
The boys are sleeping in a freight boxcar on their way to Hollywood to be actors, the scenes when they're having breakfast is hilarious and Larry ironing Moe's pants is priceless, then the boys arrive in Hollywood and they try to sneak in the studio but get thrown out and Moe comes up with the idea to get inside, then the studio boss (Bud Jamison) mistakes the boys as actors and they wreak havoc inside the studio and the studio boss finds out that the other actors couldn't come ...

MOVIE MANIACS is the best short here. All the Stooges are at their best here. A very funny short, worth the price of the tape alone.
DUTIFUL BUT DUMB, funny as well. The scene where the Stooges are in the radio is a masterpiece. The oyster gag was also done in SHIVERING SHERLOCKS and INCOME TAX SAPPY. A pretty funny short.
OILY TO BED, OILY TO RISE is funny in some ways, and not in others. The short is a little slowly paced, but still pretty funny.
Would've been a five-star ... Read More

MOVIE MANIACS (1936) - A hilarious short. The boys travel by train to Hollywood to breakout into the movie business. A lot of great scenes, and Larry and Curly as the leading couple is a hoot. Great ending, too. Best line is from Moe: "There's a couple of 100 people in pictures now who know nothing about it. Three more won't make a difference!"
DUTIFUL BUT DUMB - One of the boys best. Classic work from the Stooges, and Curly's oyster soup scene toward the end is one of his best moments. Only he could ... Read More
