Retro Humor.......2005-04-11

You have to be in the right frame of mind to get a chuckle out of "The Three Stooges" as advanced techniques have raised expectations, but if you can transport yourself back in time, some of the routines are still cute. "Malice in the Palace" is the best on this DVD. It's based on misunderstanding and inaccurate assumptions, like most Stooge pieces are.

"Disorder in the Court" plays on another recurring Stooge theme, that of taking yourself and life too seriously. In the end the hapless baffoons save the day. It isn't as well written as "Malice," but is still an interesting piece to look at in terms of representing comedy of the era.

The four public domain shorts are good, but everywhere.
Ted Healy was incredibly UNfunny. He held the Stooges down.
When the Stooges left that jerk, they soared. Historicly interesting;Yes. Funny;No It's a small wonder Healy got stomped to death in a bar-room.

This DVD is great value for the price.Even more worthwhile if your interested in film history.
Four of these shorts are well known classics featuring either Curly or Shemp Howard as the third Stooge.
Some of the other shorts on this disc feature members of the Three Stooges in solo film before they came together as a team.
A couple feature the full Stooges line-up with Ted Healy.
I find the Ted Healy stuff very poor quality,but interesting if you are interested in seeing how their early vaudeville performance would have been like on stage.

poor quality made up by rarities.......2002-03-08

Buy this if you are interested in Ted Healy's productions from really early Stooge days. If not, skip it. The quality (audio and video) of the DVD is shabby...hence, the low price. There are only 4 of 12 shorts really worth owning, available on other, higher quality products.

Terrific value; great material.......2001-09-23

What a DVD! This has three hours of extremely rare, hard to find material. And its not filler, like some of the other Three Stooges collections out there; this is all content, baby. The best part about this collection is that it has many of the hard-to-find shorts with Ted Healy.

The only problem is that no effort was made to clean up the video or the sound, and the original prints from which this DVD was made seem to have been in poor shape in places. A new release, with the latest in digital remastering, will be most welcome.
