3.0 out of 5 stars An okay tape, but could be better., January 31, 2002

By	Kyle Cruse (Escondido, CA USA) - See all my reviews

RHYTHM AND WEEP is the funniest short here. I think it has some funny scenes, especially when the Stooges are about to jump off the building. Too many dancing scenes though. BACK FROM THE FRONT was okay, but not great. Moe does his Hitler impression also done in all three shorts on the THEY STOOGE TO CONGA tape. Good toward the end. THE THREE TROUBLEDOERS was just too boring. There are a few funny scenes, but not enough. I don't usually like westerns.

An okay tape, but nothing special.

2.0 out of 5 stars Careful, Curly fans., April 27, 2000

By	Scott MacGillivray (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Curly fans will see very little of their hero's usual personality. Two of these shorts date from 1946, when Curly Howard was at the end of his career. (Very ill at the time, he struggled through these films and it shows.) RHYTHM AND WEEP is the better of the two, with the Stooges auditioning their song-and-dance act for a producer. THE THREE TROUBLEDOERS is a Western spoof that Curly just wasn't up to making. BACK FROM THE FRONT is a wartime comedy with the Stooges doing their best to sabotage the German war effort. Completists will want these episodes, but they aren't prime Stooge material.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rhythm and Weep, July 4, 2001

By	Stooge (Naperville, IL USA) - See all my reviews

RHYTHM AND WEEP (1946) - One of the worst Curly shorts. The whole short is basically a rip-off of the earlier Stooge shrost GENTS WITHOUT CENTS (1944). Both have the boys as actors, they run into 3 female dancers and they instantly fall in love with each other. They are all hired to do a play - the boys a comedy play, and the girls a dance number. I never thought much of GENTS to begin with because of the over-long musicals, but at least that has the classic "Niagra Falls" routine. RHYTHM doesn't really have much highlights.

BACK FROM THE FRONT (1943) - A good WWII film. Bud Jamison as the German officer is hilarious, and there are some good performances from the Stooges as well. Great to see Moe's Hitler impression again.

THE THREE TROUBLEDOERS (1946) - Pretty boring western. My favorite parts were the scenes showing the Stooges riding on the triple-bike in fast-motion is hilarious, as well as Dick Curtis' double-take when seeing the sun fall, then quickly rising back up again. I didn't like the ending, though.

Pretty bad tape.
