A Bargain

"Why do I say this is a bargain? For two reasons. One is that these same shorts are available on a double DVD offered by Soitenly Stooges and Knuckleheads, official merchandise from those who own the rights to the Stooges - and they charge 30 bucks for theirs, even though all four shorts available can't be more than an hour and fifteen minutes, so there is no need for a double DVD. There is also a DVD with only two of these shorts that is a dollar more! The second reason is, these shorts are in the public domain, and two (Malice in the Palace and Brideless Groom) have never been available from Columbia TriStar Home Video. Since so many who call themselves fans restrict their tastes to Curly, these shorts aren't likely to be released officially any time soon. But I love Shemp and these shorts are pretty good. If you don't like Shemp, don't buy this - because I guarantee that the production notes and biographies of the stars included in this package are bogus and inaccurate!"
Well worth it

"You can't go wrong on this for eight bucks. One Curly short, but the three Shemp shorts are good ones."
