DVD Reviews of The Three Stooges Collection, Vol. 2: 1937-1939
DVD Review: Just What My Dad Wanted...
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried to order this from the Official Website and it was back-ordered until November but, I needed it within a week's time. So, I searched Amazon and found the same DVDs that cost less AND were delivered just in time for my father's birthday. It was his favorite gift and he wants a few more for Christmas...I'll definitely be ordering them from Amazon, again!!DVD Review: Three Stooges, Collection Vol. 2
Summary: 5 Stars
Nothing much to say here. I think everyone knows who the Three Stooges are by now. I have Vol 1 and Vol 2 so far (but I've seen them all time and time again). Volume 2 is better than volume 1. I am a strict Curly fan, and it's all Curly here. Very funny and entertaining. A classic that you can watch over and over and over again. Highly recommended. Nyuk, nyuk!DVD Review: Love the Stooges, but found a missing scene
Summary: 4 Stars
Since most of the other reviews nail this release of the Stooges on the head, I will just get right to the point. In the 1937 episode "The Sitter Downers" I have noticed there is a missing scene. When the Stooges wives tell the stooges to "build a fire for breakfast while they go to the store" Curly accidentally burns the plans for the house. This scene has been cut from the short, but is still referenced later. Moe tells Larry "if that puddin' head hadn't have burned the plans we'd have saved plenty of work".
Considering this is an official release by Sony I was very shocked that there are missing scenes. Were these just remastered versions of syndicated (cut) episodes? It makes me wonder what other episodes have scenes cut.
I know its nothing big, but an official release shouldn't have omissions like this. That's why I only give it four stars instead of five.
DVD Review: three stooges vol 2
Summary: 5 Stars
All I can say is I get what I want fast and Amazon is efficient. And for a baby boomer like me who likes cartoon and film classics who can hardly wait to enjoy the products, I say Amazon hasn't failed me in fast delivery.. Satisfied customerDVD Review: The beginning of their classic era
Summary: 5 Stars
Sony should be congratulated for finally doing the right thing and releasing all of the Stooge shorts in order, without any lengthy delays between each set, after years of sporadic "themed" releases. This set starts in 1937, when they weren't quite in the classic mode yet, but soon segues into their early classic era. I once heard it suggested that 'The Sitter-Downers,' their last short of 1937, really marked the beginning of their golden era. I think I'd have to agree that the transition began somewhere around there, particularly now that we have all of the shorts in order to watch. This set also contains two of the Missing 60, 'We Want Our Mummy' and 'Three Little Sew and Sews,' the two shorts on here I was most looking forward to seeing since they were among the few Curly shorts I hadn't seen yet.
Once they got into their classic era, they just kept getting better and better, having put all of the final finishing touches on their screen characters, comedic style, and screen relationship. Some of my favorite shorts on this set are 'A-Ducking They Did Go,' 'Three Missing Links,' 'Flat-Foot Stooges,' 'Three Dumb Clucks,' and 'Violent Is the Word for Curly.' I've even heard it suggested by some people that the lattermost short contains the world's first music video, since it's a lip-synched performance of a song in video format! There are a couple of doozies here too, though; 'Back to the Woods' has got to be one of the worst shorts of the Curly era. I've also never cared too much for 'Grips, Grunts, and Groans,' though at least it's not the awful 'Back to the Woods.'
Again, Sony should be commended for releasing these Stooge sets in such a speedy fashion, and finally releasing the shorts properly. I do wish there would be some bonus material, but I tend to agree with those who speculate that the bonus material is being saved for the late Shemp and Joe eras, to try to boost up the sales of those less-than-great shorts.
Description of The Three Stooges Collection, Vol. 2: 1937-1939
Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: NR
Release Date: 27-MAY-2008
Media Type: DVD
By 1937, where Volume Two of this long overdue chronological collection picks up, Moe, Larry, and Curly had been performing together for over a decade, and appeared in several feature films and 19 short subjects for Columbia. They were just getting warmed up; there is nary a clunker among the 24 shorts on this two-disc set. Several rank in the Stooges pantheon, including "Grips, Grunts and Groans" (with Bustoff the wrestler), "Violent is the Word for Curly" (with "Swinging the Alphabet"), and "Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb" (the Stooges live the hotel high life after Curly wins a radio contest). These comedies must have been a great escape for Depression-era moviegoers, particularly the ones in which the rich are reduced to food-throwing goofs ("Three Sappy People"). For the Stooges, it's not prosperity that's around the corner, but more often, con men on the lookout for "suckers" to swindle ("A Ducking They Will Go," "Playing the Ponies"). Reflecting America's can-do spirit, the Stooges are nothing if not resilient. These shorts may find them down, but they are never out. The boys are ungainfully employed as Calvary spies ("Goofs and Saddles"), janitors ("Three Missing Links"), dog washers ("Mutts to You"), firemen ("Flat Foot Stooges"), traveling salesmen ("Saved by the Belle"), and vets ("Calling all Curs"). Some of the best shorts turn on mistaken identity: They are confused for college professors in "Violent is the Word for Curly," high society escorts in "Termites of 1938," and famous decorators in "Tassels in the Air." For all the hair-tearing, eye-poking, and shovel-clobbering, the Stooges surprise with the odd musical grace note, such as their rendition of the silly "The Lollipop Song" in "Wee Wee Monsieur," and their music box-accompanied pas-de-trio with pilgrim lasses Faith, Hope, and Charity in "Back to the Woods." One also does not ordinarily look to the Stooges for pathos, or, for that matter, heartwarming happy endings, but "Cash and Carry" delivers both as the boys set out to raise $500 for a crippled boy's operation. "Flat Foot Stooges" is something of a milestone. It marks the debut of "Three Blind Mice" as the Stooges new theme song, which would replace the twittering "Listen to the Mockingbird." The shorts are presented complete and uncut, which means the PC police are standing by to issue citations for such egregious stereotypes as the grunting, shrieking "savages" in the colonial comedy, "Back to the Woods," and the Stooges' turn as Yiddish-speaking Chinese launderers in "Mutts to You." --Donald Liebenson
