Three Stooges, 2 Pack Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 3 Reviews)

If it seems too good to be true...
The selection of shorts is only fair, the video quality poorand there are just two 25-minute shorts on each DVD! Almost enough todissuade me from trying other Stooge DVD's.

Beware non-Columbia Stooges videos
The four movies included in this set -- 'Disorder In The Court', 'Malice In The Palace', 'Sing A Song Of Six Pants' and 'Brideless Groom' -- are in the public domain, which means anyone with recording equipment and a copy of the movie can release their own video. Frequently, the results are of poor video/audio quality (although the movies themselves are quite good -- 'Brideless Groom' is one of the funniest Stooge comedies ever). Columbia has just released an 'official' Stooges DVD (with six of the films on one disc) -- hopefully the first of many. Stick with Columbia, and avoid these cheap knock-offs.

4-star shorts, but we've all seen them.
Don't get me wrong, all four of these shorts are great, but haven't they been released enough? DISORDER IN THE COURT, MALICE IN THE PALACE, SING A SONG OF SIX PANTS, and BRIDELESS GROOM have been released on about fifty different videos, and now on DVD. BRIDELESS GROOM, SING A SONG, and DISORDER have been released in better quality by Columbia once or twice, but Shemp's most famous short MALICE IN THE PALACE is not on any Columbia Tristar collection yet. I like these shorts, but DVD's should be better that videos and need different shorts. After all, Columbia still hasn't released 55 of the Stooges films.
