Back when the "Blondie" comic strip was very young, Dagwood wanted to marry a flapper against the wishes of his rich family and staged a hunger strike for her sake. This is the basic premise of "The Sitter Downers" (1937, short number 27 in the Columbia series) in which the boys want to marry against a father's wishes and camp out in his living room. The second half is concerned with the now married Stooges trying to build a home for their brides with predictable disastrous results. Very funny at the start, stale material in the second section.
"Nutty but Nice" (1940, number 47) has the boys trying to help a melancholic girl by finding her kidnapped father. It starts interestingly with the boys as a team running a musical restaurant, but it turns to more familiar material as they try to escape from an apartment using the dumbwaiter. (They will never learn not to send Curly down first.) What makes this entry more interesting is that Vernon Dent gets to play a straight, sympathetic part that calls upon him actually to laugh at the Stooges' routines.
"Slippery Silks" (1936, number 19) starts with the boys as "fine" woodworkers--destroying a precious Chinese box brought in by Vernon Dent for reproduction--and then finding they have inherited a gown shop. After they reason that designing furniture and gowns is all the same, the results are truly funny as Larry's cabinet-like creations are displayed by attractive models who play it straight. However, the director (Preston Black) decided that the script needed a good pie throw (or cake throw in this instance) ending, and the last sequence offers nothing new along those lines. --Frank Behrens

This disc contains 6 shorts, five of which are of excellent quality even if not all of them might be considered top bona-fide classics. The other one had the makings of a great short, but sadly is marred by the black cloud looming over it. Since a number of other reviewers have already described the plots, I'll skip the redundancy and go straight to my opinions on each.
'Hoi Polloi' (1935) is an absolute bona-fide classic, probably one which just about every fan has in his or her personal ... Read More

Nutty but nice is a very strong compilation Stooges DVD. It features one bona fide classic with Hoi Polloi and several more great early Curlys.
"Hoi Polloi" - 1935 - the Classic Stooges plot with A professor betting that he can turn the stooges into gentlemen. After many attempts to teach them etiquette, he brings them to a fancy society party. The stooges new found manners don't last very long, and the party quickly degenerates. a plot Used many times, this one is the best!

Moe,Larry and silly Curly are performing their slapstick routines as usual in this collection. In HOI POLLOI,the Stooges are sanitation workers who volunteer to be transformed into "gentlemen". Well,more dignified and sophisticated gentlemen. In NUTTY BUT NICE,the Stooges search for a missing bank cashier whose child daughter is sickened by his disappearance. In A-DUCKING THEY DID GO,the Stooges join a duck-hunting club,which is bogus because it was initiated by swindlers. In THE SITTER-DOWNERS,the Stooges' ... Read More

Nutty but Nice is a great DVD containing six Stooges shorts, all of them with Curly. "A Ducking They Did Go" has the Stooges selling memberships to a phony duck hunting club with a great ending. "Hoi Polloi" and "Half-Wits Holiday" are virtually the same short as the trio are used to see if environment or heredity determines your social behavior. "Higher Than A Kite" has the Stooges as mechanics who end up hiding in a bomb and landing in a Nazi headquarters. "False Alarms" has Moe, Larry, and Curly as firemen ... Read More
