Rating: Summary: Three Stooges Out Takes and shorts Review: I wouldn't have known what this DVD selection was just from reading the description available at Amazon, but being exceptionally curious, and being furthermore motivated by the inexpensive price, I went ahead and bought it to find out just what these "Lost Treasures" were. -They are an assortment of rare Three Stooges clips, shorts, and outtakes from The Three Stooges over the years, including some rare television appearances, the TV pilot that they were in ("Jerks of All Trades"), and a few skits when they appeared as guests in some variety television shows. Not a bad concept, compiling a handful of treasures directly from the vaults, with the result that the public manages to get a sample of certain shorts that hadn't seen the light of day for decades. Anyway, some of these selections were fairly entertaining in your typical Three Stooges sort of way. When the Three Stooges are shown on television, they interact with other guests that happened to be there with them. Some of the clips are unfortunately grainy, and grey or dark, but others are very sharp indeed. I guess you have to be a Three Stooges fan to really get into this DVD, but I still found it enjoyable anyway. I suppose I would have given it a higher mark if I were as obsessed with the Three Stooges as some fans are.
Rating: Summary: A Gem Review: This DVD is an amazing find for Three Stooges fans, though only diehards may really be interested. Here is what exactly is on this:
- The Operation sketch (THE STEVE ALLEN SHOW Jan. 11, 1959)
- The Stand In sketch (THE STEVE ALLEN SHOW Feb. 22, 1959)
- Movie trailers: GOLD RAIDERS, STOP! LOOK! AND LAUGH!, HAVE ROCKET WILL TRAVEL, SNOW WHITE & THE THREE STOOGES, THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES, THE THREE STOOGES IN ORBIT, THE OUTLAWS IS COMING
- Commercials: ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION PSA, SIMONIZ CAR WAX, DICKIE WORK PANTS
- Clips from: DANNY THOMAS MEETS THE COMICS, HOLLYWOOD ON PARADE, NERTSERY RHYMES, PLANE NUTS, JERKS OF ALL TRADES, SWING PARADE OF 1946
Things like the footage from the Steve Allen Show, the movie trailers, and the ads from the 1960s are truly rare items. You won't see them elsewhere.
