A four-pack of mid-'30s Three Stooges shorts, with enough concentrated nyuk-nyuks to satisfy fans. Two of the shorts are from their first year with Columbia, 1934. "Men in Black" has the boys as residents in a very unlucky hospital. It's nonstop mayhem, featuring an unorthodox approach to healing (the words "Give 'em the anesthetic" usually means a mallet will be applied to skull) and a good running gag about an ill-advised glass door. This one was nominated for the best short subject Oscar. "Punch Drunks" is an all-time Stooges gem, with Curly as Moe's new boxing discovery--but he can only achieve his fighting fury when Larry plays "Pop Goes the Weasel" on the violin.
From 1937, "The Sitter Downers" has three brides for three stooges, but their honeymoon is delayed by the building of a house, in typical Stooges style. Curly is wound up especially tight in this one, and it has some primo sight gags about home construction. "Playing the Ponies" navigates a zig-zag Stooges storyline, taking them from restaurant (Curly fixes an appetizing filet of sole) to horse track. It has a classic Stooges hand jive, although it shows how slapdash their shtick could get.
The DVD has Columbia's "ChromaChoice" colorized gimmick, which simply means easy toggling between the original (well preserved) black-and-white shorts and the colorized versions. The colorized images are sensibly rendered, but they still have that washed-out paleness they've always had--eggshell greens and light browns abound. So real Stooges fans can ignore the color, and ponder the eternal questions: Why was Moe so angry? Why is a bald man named Curly? What was the deal on Larry? And "Why don't catfish have kittens?" --Robert Horton

Some of the better efforts of one of moviedoms less celebrated trio's, the Three Stooges! Curly is at his best and Larry and Moe support him well. Yes, I know that Moe was supposedly the leader of the madcap merrymen, but in my opinion, Curly was the star that made the entire schtick work so well.
The colorization is wonderful, and if you wish to see the original black and white, it has been masterfully restored. I recommend this DVD along with the other three stooges colorized DVD's ... Read More

I bought a couple of these out of desperation for some of the shorts. Now that Columbia is releasing these shorts the way they should be, these DVD presentations are obsolete and I can get rid of them. I've never watched the colorized shorts and never will. Colorization is an insult to the creators of a film. This would of been a 5 rating if not for the inclusion of the colorized versions. Also, there is a small superimposed object in the upper right corner that looks something like a camera. I ... Read More

IM NOT USALLY A FAN OF COLORIATION OF OLD CLASSIC FILMS, BUT THE JOB THAT HAS BEEN DONE ON THESE STOOGES COLOR DVD'S HAVE BEEN VERY WELL DONE! AND WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT THESE DVD'S IS THEY OFFER YOU THE B&W VERSION AS WELL. ''THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS ON ONE DISC''! I THINK THAT'S GREAT! I HOPE COLUMBIA KEEPS PUTTING OUT MORE OF THIS COLLECTION. I JUST WISH THEY WOULD COME OUT WITH NEW STOOGES SHORTS, NOT THE SAME OL' SAME OL', YA KNOW? ANYWAYS,..THIS IS AN AWESOME DVD SERIES. JUST KEEP THEM BOTH COLOR ... Read More

Who are the executives at Columbia who seriously thought that this would be a good idea? Fans of classic film sent the powers that be a message in the Eighties that they hated colorisation, and after the issue was seemingly dead and buried, it rears its ugly head again in a new generation. The Chroma Color (from what I saw of it on the self-congratulatory featurette) does look better than the colorisation of the Eighties, but that's still not saying very much. It might look better and more realistic, ... Read More
