I really couldn't agree more or add to the majority of the reviews here, it's a charming and endearing book and Moe's love for his family, fellow stooges and entertaining in general shines through. There's so many interesting, hilarious and sometimes embarrassing stories that I frequently found myself laughing out loud.
My only complaint is that the years spent making shorts with Shemp were completely left out (and I mean COMPLETELY). There's a paragraph about how they decided to add Shemp after Curly's stroke, one sentence about the name of the first short with Shemp (Fright Night) and two sentences about "Hold That Lion" (in which Curly last appeared and is the only film with all four original stooges together). Then there's a paragraph about Shemp's death and that's that. Incredibly, despite 9 years and 77 films together, Moe never shares even one story, anecdote or comment about this period of Stooge history. Being a big fan of Shemp, this glaring omission left me very disappointed.
Likewise, it's the same with Joe Besser. Admittedly, they only filmed 16 shorts with Joe spanning two years but it's still a very important part of the Stooge's story, and I'm left with absolutely no idea of what it was like working with Besser, what kind of person he was, behind the scenes stories, nothing. Just two (short) paragraphs.
Regardless of how you feel about Joe or even Shemp, they are a big part of the story and not having told those parts leaves a huge hole right in the middle. My only conclusion is that since Moe died before the book was published that he never got around to finishing the details about these particular periods.
Despite these gaps, any true Stooges fan simply cannot do without this book. Great stuff. So don't just stand there, do somethin'!
